Hello guys welcome to Highland Homestead and today we got tips and tricks from Big Daddy. Do you got moles or do you got voles or maybe a common rat? Well I got a solution for you for your raised beds. What we did is these voles were coming up from the bottom and getting in our raised beds and getting all of our tasty roots and destroying our plants. So we have a solution and what I used was some stucco mesh and I screwed it to the bottom of the bed so let me show you what I did. Right here is the stucco mesh. I stapled it down. I had to put a 2x4 because these are only 3 feet wide and this is a 4 foot bed. So I put a 2x4 in the middle for a brace and stapled the mesh all the way around and this is the bottom of our beds. We had pulled it up you can see the dirt pile there. Took the dirt out and pulled them up put the mesh on and this one's already been done and it's ready to go for some planning. But this is how we are going to control our moles, voles and common rats in our raised bed and also just to keep the critters out this is my daughter's flower bed and you can put a little bit of mesh around the edges just keep them pesty things out of your beds because we don't like pests in our beds more trying to grow nice stuff. So that is today's Memorial Day tips and tricks from Big Daddy and everybody have a good Memorial Day and don't forget to remember all those heroes who have fallen and died for this country. We wouldn't have the freeings without them. Thanks everybody. Ciao!
