And I'll go w/ the cow manure compost.

I've got to put up a chicken wire type fence as well to keep my big dog out of there....

Thanks Matt, but I could argue the smart thing real well.
Hey, don't be afraid to teach your dog to plant with you. My big old fat black lab worked with me year in and year out and learned where to step and where not to. He even knew he wasn't allowed in the garden when I wasn't in there.
Give him some credit, he's probably a lot smarter than me. Plus you'll enjoy having him with you. Plant some snow peas for him, and you'll have a treat for him all season. It makes it even easier to teach him to be good.
Remember that plants will take a pretty good beating, so don't be afraid.
Plus chicken wire looks like sh1t. lol
