I am expanding my patch this year such that it is lol. I�ve removed the cage. I built for growing tomatoes. Seems like the critters still managed to find a way in whether it was under or over. This area will give me room to run out a couple of long vines past the fruit. You can see I�ve started excavating out the old soil. Not only is it full of clay, it is also full of Verticillium wilt. There�s not much you can do about Verticillium wilt. It lasts for 10 to 15 years in the soil. There are no chemical products that really will control it. I will spray the bottom and sides of this trench with a high concentration of Hydrogen peroxide before putting in new dirt.
