No digging, no chewing, no holes anywhere, except for the 1" or so holes the chicken wire has in it... whatever is getting in there is able to squeeze through the holes in the chicken wire.
I didn't want to do it, but my next course of action is going to be to put 2 mouse traps on the surface of the soil in each pot. Whatever is getting inside the chicken wire cages is going to regret it.![]()
In the future, I'll using nothing but hardware cloth.
