of one, or shall I need to get some heavy gauge wire and make

Well, I have had success with the barrier method with polythene around
them. Make sure the polythene is buried all around and is 2' high. It
works
for me.


Unfortunately, I don't have the space. The effect on rainfall is a
serious problem for me.
