Did you see the concrete slab?.......gopher won't tunnel up thru conctre slab....

You put up a pic of an example of what you were talking about....it was that pic i was questioning...the pic with the bed made of cinder blocks...

 

[SFguy]

His plans are to go in ground...he said rototill a few rows and plant! With that being the goal...my advice was to start elevated while small and go in ground when big enough so gophers won't be an issue...

The gophers will eat the roots no matter the size they'll take out a 5 foot tree

I'd like to use the natural sandy loam that I have in the back. Ilive in an ag area mainly strawberries but I just don't know how to get the damn gophers gone. I can't poison them cause I do t want to risk it with my dogs. And I don't want to plant and waste time and energy to lose it at the end when I could have prevented it

[SFguy]

We'll talk more at the BBQ got some snip snip to do tonight

 

[passthat2me]

So the dirt gets max sun....start'm off the ground..he gave free cinder block ads and plywood is cheap and probably available on CL for free as well...

 

[doublejj]

well you never said the slab was shaded....put some plywood or wire screen down & build your cinder block beds in the sunny spot........

 

[passthat2me]

Hey doublejj, I wasn't poking at your advice, I simply didn't understand...I'm not a post poking troll....

 

[doublejj]

So u were were saying do what you did in that pic, just on the slab? And not the dirt like yours?

Yes that was what I was saying, but if the slab is shaded, no good.....

 

[passthat2me]

I never put the slab into play due to him stating his plan was to go in ground

last year i "found" a bunch of 2x6 board on a vacant property, that was foreclosed next to my property. It also had an old chicken coop,with a good amount of chicken wire.
I took the boards made 4x4 ft boxes,stapled the chicken wire flat to the bottom. Made 4 of them FREE
filled them with half native soil and half used FFOF. also free.
ive made teas veg teas out of males plants. made banna peel,alfla pellet teas,horse manure teas. used oak leafs that are composted

Idk if thats what u wer thinking of wen u said free materials haha
