Thanks for responding. We will use the same mesh from Home Depot unless I can find the green one. 6″ below is what our landscaper is recommending as well. Professional company would use 4 ft mesh and bury it one foot below but that is probably overkill since the ground is so hard here, you would need a jack hammer.
The HD is always empty but Costco does seem to be just as crowded as the other ones, especially the gas station.
I haven’t seen scorpions yet either. The road runners are my favoraite. Never thought they were real and now I can see coyotes and road runners just like the cartoon.
Do you see the walking sticks and praying mantis as well? First time I saw those as well. Usually see them on the window screens.
