Comments (2)Fencing is the standard recommendation and the only thing that seems to consistently work effectively. There have been many discussions here about keeping various varmints - rabbits, gophers, woodchucks, deer, armadillos, squirrels, etc. - out of the garden that the search will pull up for you.
