Or what I should like to do, plant breeding. But neither that nor
the uses you mention fit well with raised beds and one metre fences.


I recall a chap who grew giant cabbages for fodder in one corner of a field,
and he definitely fenced it off, not unreasonably, because he wanted to keep
the rabbits out. He didn't use raised beds, though :-)
