[quote=Anonymous]I've posted here over the last few years to trouble shoot my container garden. I just cleared out my space for the season and want to start fresh next year.

I have a plain, flat yard that backs to the woods. Mostly unlandscaped, natural. Unfenced, and share the space with many critters.

I want to plant in containers to keep it simple. I need to fence it off to protect from critters. I've done so using landscape fabric on the ground, fence posts, and chicken wire.

The fence held up well this year, so that's a win! But weeds grow up through the landscape fabric, and also become overgrown around the perimeter and impossible to manage.

What can I do now to prepare, or in the spring to help keep it neat? I've saved some big cardboard boxes - should I line the ground with them now? What about the perimeter? Do I need to buy some kind of edging? What kind? Or is my whole system just not worth it? I just want a few containers of veggies and herbs! I feel like it shouldn't be that hard.
