We will be super busy this spring and summer building out a simple cabin on the land we bought up north. We need something that will be quick and easy for our year one northern test garden.
We have had a few dogs over the years. Some have been huge – 140 pounds. Sandy (our guest in the garden) is 9 pounds.
We know a bunch about dog kennels and crate structures. So when I was trying to figure out how in the world we were going to keep deer and bunnies and moose all OUT of our test gardens up north, dog kennels came to mind. I know it sounds crazy but I’ve run it by a few folks and they think it might just work. The kennel panels are 6′ high and we can easily line the bottom of the perimeter with chicken wire and even boards dug into the ground. If it works, we could easily add on to the structure in year two. If it doesn’t, we can do something else next year.
What are your thoughts?
Next up: How we plan to plant – Hugelkultur (with two dots over the u that I can’t seem to get to work 😉).
