Scrappy Woven Fence

   I needed to devise a way to keep our dogs out of the herb garden or else move it to a different location where they couldn't get to it.  It took quite a while to achieve the messy mix of sage, thyme, chives, lavender, lilies, poppies, etc that I call my herb garden and darn it, I don't want to move it! 
I made this fence like apparatus using 48" coated metal garden stakes( 99 cents each at Meijer's) and strips of fabric I had in my craft room.

Peas growing up the fence.
 Around the base of the fabric fence I put cheap fence edging.  This serves the dual purpose of keeping the dogs out and providing a trellis for peas or beans to grow on.

Partial fabric fence around my raised garden bed.
I have a semi circular raised garden bed that I made with cement blocks.  The holes in the blocks face up to keep the dirt in the bed.  I filled the holes with good garden soil and planted beans in them.  The fabric fence will provide a trellis for the beans to grow up on.
