Here is a list of resources you should have on hand :
- 3 to 4' tall Wire fencing - something with sufficient gauge to retain its form, and be used for a few years,
- Wire cutters,
- Some sort of twisty tie or pliable metal,
- Straw or hay,
- Pure compost (no manure! not even composted!!),
- Water source,
- Potatoes (go for a mix, prettier that way),
