I have wanted to try raised beds, last year I tried grow boxes and they did good at first then the heat and grasshoppers just destroyed me. I planted some fruit trees this year and decided I couldn't handle a garden too. now I regret it. Long story but A few years ago I had a sweet potato patch and the deer were eating me alive. I ended up driving a t post every 15 feet or so and hanging an old t shirt on a hanger on them and it kept the deer away.
