Meow back to Squeak. New fence addition looks great and hope it works. I noticed Squeak doing her inspection at the video end...glad to see her on the job.
Awesome job and yes very tedious to wire it all the way around. We have a huge garden and we went a little deeper 12 inches and also bent the wire and had a foot (12 inches) away drom the fence so if something did dig they would hit the wire 12 inches down. It was a alot of work...took us the whole weekend lol but followed your design and it works. Thank You for the video...cheers from Canada 😊
If you hadn't immediately shown a video right after saying it I wouldn't have believed you. I can't believe that groundhog actually fit through there. 😂
Great idea to place at bottom of your fencing. I presently have my garden area built with 6 foot high deer fencing and also plan to surround that with fine bird netting on all the fence walls and top of garden to stop birds and squirrels. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your next video.
A great idea with the fence. I keep waiting for you to expand your garden and/or add a bed or two in your current garden area. You should grow onions and carrots if you like them. Hang some gutters on the inside of the garden and grow strawberries or more bush beans. I grow ground cherries after seeing yours. They are delicious and we get around 50 of them a day. Our growing season is about over for now. Then we start over in August and have warm weather crops, cool weather crops, then warm weather crops again. It's great to grow your groceries. Great video. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks.
Wow, those groundhogs were certainly enjoying your ‘all they can eat buffet’ 😋; hopefully you’ve solved the problem of them. Your lovely edible garden looks very tidy and well organised.
Hi BubbleBeet....... Another great video with Squeak stealing the show.....:) I am amazed at the size of those groundhogs that they can squeeze through such a narrow opening. They no doubt love the crops and it is worth every effort for them to push themselves through your fence. Can't say I blame them. hahahaha
i'll add fence to the gate if one discovers that entry. Usually they ignore the front door part of the fence, maybe because its closest to the house. yeah its wild they can squeeze thru :)
Chucks can climb and dig under gates. Best to leave a small opening or two in the fence and set a double door 9x11x24 Comstock cage traps which will catch animals coming and going, no escape. Very simple and easy to catch whatever tries to get into your garden area and end the worries of excluding them, which animals usually find a way to beat over time..
@@BubbleBeet You could actually try a barrier instead, such as pavers along the outside of the fencing, with weed cloth or cardboard underneath. Just a thought.
Groundhogs are crazy, and can both climb over, and dig under. Hopefully not, would have liked an update! I’m in a city, and for the 2nd year in a row, I have groundhogs tunnelling at the base of my house. Last year they even caused part of my driveway to collapse. In the last 6 weeks I haven’t had 2 days straight where I haven’t needed to do damage control. Have grated Irish Spring soap, crushed moth balls, mixed them with a bit of earth and poured it in the hole, then filled it back in. Next day, they’ve dug right through, they aren’t bothered at all. Have repeated many times, thinking it would eventually be toxic enough that it would deter them, but nope 😢 So many suggestions online, but really not much works other than chicken wire. But brick house, don’t want to screw the wire to the parging. Tried duct tape (lol), but it’s pretty much useless. They’re absolutely fixated on my house, and I’m gonna lose it if I can’t find a solution. It may be that having them relocated is the only answer for me, but it’s a potentially pricey option.
I have the same exact issue with them near my foundation. Other ones will occupy or reopen their tunnels. You have to consistently kill them. You can throw bubble gum down their tunnels, they will chew it and die from the chemicals in it. That's really the only way to be proactive against them. I've trapped 1 of 3. Most of them are pretty hard to trap. The other 2 I got with headshots.
Have you had any more problems with the groundhogs since you installed the new fencing? I’m currently in the process of installing the same thing. Thanks!!!
a problem with cement is it'd be hard to replace the fence after 5 years or so when it begins to rust and deteriorate. the wire is fairly thin so 5 years touching the dirt is about all it will last. thx
This doesn’t work against digging (rabbits, squirrels, gofers, chipmunks, mice, etc), it should be L-shaped with 2 feet flat on the ground on the outside. It doesn’t work against squirrels and raccoons who climb it over with ease.

Ground squirrels can go through chicken wire fence. I use hardware cloth around the bottom. How do you stop racoons from climbing over. They love corn.
ive had problems with raccoons. i ended up using a havaheart cage trap and relocate them. some years they arent a problem, fingers crossed for this year. might get an electric fence addon but will see if its needed in future. thx
The raccoons in my area travel in packs. They use the storm sewers to move around. I have to use full fruit cages and grow popcorn that's shorter to protect them.
Right, but I would at the same time support wildlife by feeding whatever wildlife I have, here I haven't:) Just like the owner of the channel "Chunk The Groundhog ". It pays back;)
Oh no I hope he don't get stuck and hurt themselves. I have a groundhog. I'd of used chickens wire around the whole thing. It looks all so nice!! Ever since I have a huge garden now a bunny waits for me to go an when I go in he enters lol!!¡!!!(⁶
what about also building a raised bed or two for the groundhogs? build it further away from your beds and maybe they will go to their own raised bed? since our society is destroying their habitats and food, its the least we could do , right?

how has that layer of fencing been holding up?

hey bubble beet. youre videos are so great and amazing to watch. its amazing how ground hogs can squeeze through such a small gap
Very Nice. So much work goes into growing our own food.
true. its hard work but fun and good exercise. thx :)
@@BubbleBeet Gardening is my passion. I love it and yes, it is great exercise to get out in nature!
This is great! Thank you!

Great idea 💡
👏👏👏nice one again bubblebeet😊😍😙i'll keep watching 😉hope one day you travel here in Philippines👍hhaha
I thought you were crazy when you said a ground hog could fit through there. Wow was I wrong lol? Good work!
Any footage after the new fence install of a groundhog tryin to get in again?
Where I dan order this type of fence
Nice job. Hopefully that will keep most out.
Great job, well done!
Nice! Hopefully your garden will be groundhog free this year.👍

weed spray. the generic version of roundup

@@BubbleBeet You could actually try a barrier instead, such as pavers along the outside of the fencing, with weed cloth or cardboard underneath. Just a thought.
This looks great! How about squirrels though - will they not just climb over the fence?
If I was in a rural area as you are I would harvest those groundhogs. I've had them before and they are very tasty,
barbeque time! :)
Cats are what I need to keep out of my garden. The strays think I put up potty boxes for them.
Pls don't hurt them. They help chasing small animal there
great job! I think your days of groundhog troubles are behind you.
Your cat just wanted to show you they could still get in lmaooo

thanks, the drone is dji mavic air 2
Hello blogger, I have a 1/4 iron mesh. Do you need it? Can I send it to you to try?
The Squirrels be laughing at you right now!
Curious to see if this works
Thanks for the video. How long did it take for your welded wire fence to start rusting?
Any updates? This is two years old. Did the groundhogs find a way to break in? Did they hold you captive?
hi, groundhogs cant get through. but ive had problems with raccoons climbing over the entire fence.
Have you had any more problems with the groundhogs since you installed the new fencing? I’m currently in the process of installing the same thing. Thanks!!!
hi, the lower chicken fence stopped the groundhogs. But I've had problems with raccoons climbing over the entire fence.
🥰🥰🥰
How does this keep squirrels from climbing over though? I have this issue...
I feel ya man ... was fighting the tree rats and a gd whisting piggie went running by ... i need that backhoe ... wifeie says no
I'm about to install chicken wire around my new raspberries and blueberries due to rabbit damage in Dallas, TX. Looks like we're on the same timeline.
I put bunny fencing around my newly planted raspberry plants because I have 5 bunnies in my backyard living under my shed. So far so good 👍
How do you keep cats out?
How tall is your fence?
4 feet tall
Is the first wire cheaper than chicken wire?
What is your fence height.
hi, overall the fence is 4 feet tall
@@BubbleBeet did you use a 6 ft or 5 ft t post
You got to be kidding me ! That groundhog !
Will the chicken wire rust??
Yes. So will the thicker gauge wire, it'll just take longer. Couple years on chicken wire.
Could you pour cement in the trench? Maybe
a problem with cement is it'd be hard to replace the fence after 5 years or so when it begins to rust and deteriorate. the wire is fairly thin so 5 years touching the dirt is about all it will last. thx
We didn't see if the new system worked.Does it work ?
This doesn’t work against digging (rabbits, squirrels, gofers, chipmunks, mice, etc), it should be L-shaped with 2 feet flat on the ground on the outside.
It doesn’t work against squirrels and raccoons who climb it over with ease.
Hi do you have a solution for squirrels?
@@samuraioodon Full enclosure is the only way to keep squirrels out. I also set out traps (which they really don't care about) and rodenticide, but they will pass up both for #1 peanuts and #2 sunflower seeds.
What North Carolina soil zone are you in? My Charlotte, NC soil looks nothing like yours. Lol
here in central NC, my soil is red clay
I leave the sharp tines out.
A few pokes to the nose will inspire the climbing and destructive visitors to feast down the road.
I love critters but Mother Nature provides enough without them destroying my fences and gardens. -KJ
Every gardener will eventually go through this with some type of animal. If you build it (the garden food) they will come.
Ground squirrels can go through chicken wire fence. I use hardware cloth around the bottom. How do you stop racoons from climbing over. They love corn.
ive had problems with raccoons. i ended up using a havaheart cage trap and relocate them. some years they arent a problem, fingers crossed for this year. might get an electric fence addon but will see if its needed in future. thx
The raccoons in my area travel in packs. They use the storm sewers to move around. I have to use full fruit cages and grow popcorn that's shorter to protect them.
meooowww
And what about wind, pouring down rain, hail, tornados. Seems like varmints aren't really that bad.
Did it work?
hi, yes it did work to keep the groundhogs out
😄
But the raccoons can still.get in there?
how how to you get into the garden
Please be sure to include video of the ground hog failing to get through after you added the new lower portion.
Karen here what about voles? We've got lots
i havent seen voles yet. maybe because its raised beds they cant get up there. but a tighter fence mesh like hardware cloth might work.
I cannot believe that big animal squeezed thru that tiny hole?!?!
Include 2 strands electric 👍
The best part of your video is your cat.
Try an electric fence
Deer will laugh at your fence. They can jump 7 to 8 feet high. Most other critters will just climb over. But it’s a good start.
Right, but I would at the same time support wildlife by feeding whatever wildlife I have, here I haven't:) Just like the owner of the channel "Chunk The Groundhog ". It pays back;)
Now all you need is a electric fence going around.
I have a fence like yours. It doesn't work. My local groundhog climbs over the fence like your cat does.....he doesn't even bother to try digging.
I thought groundhogs can go underground
Promoting the groundhogs to dinner was not an option? 🙂
Recommend you change title, as it's misleading. This will in no way keep out raccoons/climbers.
Haha
why would any fence stop something from climbing?
Plese don't change the title!
Oh no I hope he don't get stuck and hurt themselves. I have a groundhog. I'd of used chickens wire around the whole thing. It looks all so nice!! Ever since I have a huge garden now a bunny waits for me to go an when I go in he enters lol!!¡!!!(⁶
Where's your .22
Can't a woodchuck just climb the fence? They CAN climb.
what about also building a raised bed or two for the groundhogs? build it further away from your beds and maybe they will go to their own raised bed? since our society is destroying their habitats and food, its the least we could do , right?
