We have so many squirrels, rabbits, moles...it is difficult to keep things out of the garden. Thinking about doing raised beds - seems more productive, higher yield, and could lettuce beds etc with wire. Also container gardening seems to be more common; particularly for those with small spaces. Read an article last week about utilizing vertical space, particularly vines or things that climb anyway. Even saw strawberries planted in gutters (not attached to roof, just suspended by chains) which I thought was interesting. Containers and raised beds would eliminate the need for a tiller or tractor and be much easier to maintain than rows. Just need the right soil mix....
