The woodchuck can destroy a garden in no time. They especially love string beans, cucumbers, winter squash, and various types of tomatoes

If you can't get rid of the woodchuck, your best bet is to put up a mesh wire fence, 3-4 feet high. Do not attach the wire to the very top of the fence posts. Woodchucks do not like unstable fence. Fold 6-12" onto the ground to discourage the woodchuck from burrowing under the fence

Throughout the garden and around the perimeters, place garden ornaments, pinwheels, balloons, beach balls, or shopping bags that move with the wind and make noise. This MAY scare the woodchuck away. Notice that I emphasize the word MAY. Some woodchucks are pretty brazen
