Hi folks... looking for some advice for my daughter. We built a raised container garden that sits about counter height and is currently on the driveway in the back of the house. She is growing kale, swiss chard and broccoli. All was going fine and things were growing great with huge healthy plants. Then the neighborhood rats somehow found out about the garden 3 days ago and they have totally annihilated everything very quickly. They have stripped most of the leaves off the kale and chard and have started working on the broccoli. I went out last night with a flashlight and saw 4 of them scurry away.
I have had traps out for a while due to evidence of rats (not in the garden yet), and I have caught several. I just got back from Home Depot where i bought 5 more traps to spread out and try to get a few more each night. We sprayed some peppermint oil around the area but it did not seem to help. I saw online where you can take cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil and put them right into the containers. We'll try that tonight - along with the additional traps.
I took the bb gun out there last night but it will be hard to get a good shot off without potentially hitting something else (like the neighbor's house or car).
We've always had some rats come and go around here - especially this time of year. I don't think we will ever be able to truly eradicate them because they just keep coming. We are looking for more tips on how to keep them away from the crops. I guess we could build a chicken-wire cage to go over it. That would be a hassle to deal with but it might be the only way.
Any other experiences or ideas?
Thanks for any advice

I plant my onions a little earlier every year and haven't seen any problems. I only plant 100 or so transplants, so I can cover them when it gets really cold. Actually planted them today and trying a band of fertilizer about 5" below the onions. We'll see how it goes.

For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant, and later on good crops to harvest and eat, will give you more and more seed to plant and will make it grow so that you can give away more and more fruit from your harvest.

My tomatoes should be popping up within the week. Peppers probably a week afterwards. 2 bunches of Texas Legend and 1 bunch of purple onions in the ground, and the garlic is about 3 inches tall now. Garden soil prepared. It should be a good gardening year.
