My neighbor's dog dug up my entire garden bed last Tuesday and I'm still mad about it
I spent all Saturday morning three weeks ago planting 40 tomato starts and a bunch of pepper plants along my back fence. They were looking so good until my neighbor's husky decided my garden was a digging spot. I came home from work last Tuesday and saw the soil flung everywhere, about 20 of the plants ripped out and dried up on the grass. The neighbor didn't even apologize, just said "dogs dig" like it was no big deal. I'm thinking of putting up a short fence around the bed but that's another $60 I didn't plan on spending. Has anyone else had to deal with a neighbor's pet wrecking their hard work?

$60 for a fence sounds like a bargain compared to replanting everything and being pissed off for weeks. Dogs dig, yeah, but that doesn't mean you just shrug when your pet ruins someone else's stuff. Probably worth biting the bullet on that fence and saving yourself the stress.

Honestly, have you tried just burying some chicken wire under the fence line? That's what I did after my lab destroyed my neighbor's flower bed three years ago. Dogs hate hitting that stuff when they dig, and it doesn't cost hardly anything compared to a whole new fence. Took me an afternoon and I haven't had a single escape attempt since. Ngl, it saved me a ton of headaches and neighbor drama.
