Vegetable gardens and groundhogs do not mix. These vegetarian mammals can turn even the most peaceable gardener into a vigilante, as the groundhogs take a single bite out of each ripe tomato and chomp lettuce and broccoli plants down to the nub.
As agile climbers and proficient diggers, groundhogs are able to scale a fence just as swiftly as they can burrow beneath one; readily foiling any attempt to keep them out of the veggie patch.
Excluding groundhogs from the garden without resorting to bullets or traps does require a bit of finesse, but it's perfectly doable. If you are looking for a late-winter project to thwart groundhogs during the coming garden season, here's a fencing solution tested by the Humane Society of America and determined to be the most effective groundhog-resistant option. I know several gardeners who have used it, and they all confirm that it works like a charm.
Start with enough 6-foot-tall PVC-coated welded wire fencing (with 1-inch-by-2-inch or 2-inch-by-4-inch openings), or galvanized PVC-coated hexagonal wire mesh, to surround your garden, plus 3 extra feet to construct the gate base.
Hammer a 4-foot-tall studded metal fence post also called a T-stake or T-post every 6 feet around the garden's perimeter, positioning a pair 3 feet apart to flank the gate opening. Be sure the wing-shaped metal bracket on each post is fully underground and the fence clips are facing the garden's exterior. Three feet of each fence post should remain aboveground.
Attach one end of the fence to one of the gate posts by pressing it into the post clips or using plastic zipties; allow 18 inches of the fencing to extend out from the bottom and another 18 inches above the top of the posts. Continue securing the wire mesh by moving from post to post.
Bend the excess lower fencing to form an L against the ground (the base of the L should be to the outside of the garden). Use landscape pins to firmly secure this on-ground portion every 1 or 2 feet. This thwarts the groundhog's excavating endeavors.
Then, bend the surplus top fencing very slightly toward the outside of the garden, essentially creating a sideways U with the opening aimed away from the garden. As the groundhog climbs, his weight folds the U and he drops to the ground outside the fence.
To craft the gate, use a wire cutter to remove the bottom 18 inches of the fence and size the gate's width so it overlaps the opposite post by a few inches. The gate can be held closed by a double-ended snap clip at the top and the bottom. Cut a separate piece of 3-foot-by-3-foot fencing and use landscape pins to secure it flush to the ground under the fence.

A new UC Davis study found that Caltrans could do more to stop deer and other animals from wandering onto parts of Interstate 280 and getting hit by cars, but the transportation agency is "paralyzed in the 'don't know what to do' state," the study's author said.
Caltrans should build deer-proof fences, wildlife tunnels and overpasses accessible to animals along a stretch of I-280 that is notorious for deer crossings that cause collisions of car and beast and crashes by drivers swerving to avoid deer.
Researchers at the UC Davis Road Ecology Center made these recommendations to Caltrans after spending 30 months analyzing roadkill, accident reports and wildlife habits along I-280 from San Bruno to Menlo Park to determine how and why so many cars strike deer and other wild animals.
"There were places that there were more crashes and I think it is because at those places there was more accessibility" to the freeway, said study author Fraser Shilling, director of the ecology center. "The recommendation would be that you fence off the highway from the habitat and provide a place for the animals to cross."
There are roughly a dozen underpasses and bridges that animals can use to cross the busy freeway, Shilling said. Some were installed for wildlife but some, like those that are actually underpasses for roads or human walking trails, are not always a good fit for wild animals.
Stopping deer from wandering onto the freeway is not just about saving wildlife from becoming roadkill, Shilling said. Collisions between cars and deer can total a car and injure or even kill its occupants.
In 2011, Daniel Strickland, a professor at Santa Clara University, died after his car hit a deer on I-280 and was rear-ended by another car.
"Instead of thinking of collisions with animals as an environment problem, another frame to think of it is, because people have died and been injured, it is a driver-safety issue," Shilling said.
But Caltrans still considers the issue a low-priority environmental issue, Shilling said.
"Caltrans really hasn't figured out how to deal with this issue systematically," Shilling said. "They're sort of paralyzed in the 'don't know what to do' state."

Deer-crash study has plan for Caltrans
SEMMES, Ala. (WALA) - The Mobile County Sheriff Office said driveway scammers will use real sealant with diesel fuel to spray driveways and scam you out of money. It happened to a Semmes woman yesterday when the scammers asked for $1,700 for paving an elderly woman's driveway.
I couldn't believe it was $1,700 dollars I said you've got to be kidding. I said I told you I didn't have the money for this where am I supposed to get it from? You don't just walk up and hand a senior citizen a bill for $1,700 dollars when I told you I didn't have the money, the woman said who asked us not to use her name.
She says two men approached her last week and offered to repave her driveway. She initially turned them away but they came back Thursday, January 9 asking to fill in some pot holes.
Once the job was done, she gave the men $140 and they left. She then called 911 and reported the fact she believed she was scammed.
When she and her son-in-law Fred Steiner went to check on the driveway, they discovered puddles of liquid and right underneath the newly paved driveway, was dirt.
It reminds me of some kind of used motor oil or a hydraulic fluid. It doesn't smell like what you would put on a driveway, Steiner said. It seems like theres a lot of water in it, said her son-in-law, Fred Steiner.
"It's beautiful when it's done but the first rain will wash it away," said investigator Laura Soulier with the Mobile County Sheriffs Office.
She said driveway scams happen often and the best thing to remember is youre in control.
Your driveway scammers will do as little work as possible and they'll threaten you. I'm telling seniors its okay to say no, it's okay to talk it over with somebody, Soulier said.
She advises calling police if youre unsure about a business practice and believe it could be a scam.
