Deer proofing your garden
Just wondering what you guys do to "deer proof" your garden? I am expecting a Good Citizen's Award this year for feeding the dirty, rotten, sneaky, no good........ Well, you get my point! Over the last week and a half I have lost almost 1/2 of my beets, had a pepper plant stomped to death, a cabbage with a hole through the outter leaves, 3 of my five tomatoe plants pruned nicely on one side and just about every one of my radishes EATEN! Yep, I'd say hunting season is going to open early this year around here - anyone wanna come set up a tree stand? I put up a fence around the garden this year to "detur" them, I even kept it about 3 or 4 feet back from the garden with regular lawn between the garden and the fence. That seemed to work for the first two or three weeks, then I guess the garden just got too tempting. So I added a string of barb wire around the top. Still no help so I added a string of electric fence on top. As every one of them were :biggrin2.gif: :biggrin2.gif: :biggrin2.gif: :biggrin2.gif:
   all the way through my garden and on their way home.....  Well, I added another string of electric fence on top again with the bars of Irish Spring soap hanging off the wire too. I now have regular fence with a string of barb wire and two strings of electric fence that now reach almost eight feet into the air!! Yes, it looks STUPID!! I was trying to make it look as inconspicuous as possible when I started....YEAH RIGHT! So needless to say, I think that next year it is all going to be removed and just put up regular 8 foot fence on wooden posts and I will have to deal with looking at the wire. Either that and have a garden, or I rip it all out, plant grass seed and then sit on my Cub with a couple   and mow the grass that grows!!! Yep, I am a little ticked at "wild life" around here in the last month. Errrrrrr

They must be jumping the fence you have! No problem here, but I'am making a nice white picket fence that will be 12" off the ground.

I've heard of an "electronic device" that keeps them away. Basically emits high pitch sound that humans cannot hear. I'll try and find it online....

I think this is it. I haven't used it before, so can't attest to it's affectiveness. You might want to find some product reviews online.

Deer Proof Fence
Put a 45 degree angle post outward from your main fence post and run your hot wire on it where the deer contact the hot wire as they approach your fence to prepare to jump it.make sure you hang it at the right height.
Good Luck,Bruce

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
