How's the garden's doing???

[Mitch]

The best thing i ever did to my garden is putting up a electric fence no rabbits no coons no deer 3 strands of fence one at 6" one at 12" and one at 3 ft once they touch it they never come back.

I've had deer jump a 5 foot electric fence before to get to my broccoli. This year I put one strand at 6 inches and haven't done anything about deer yet, though I need to do something pretty soon. We're thinking to add a deer netting above the existing wire fence with some colored streamering to make it more visible.

The Irish Spring approach does sound interesting. This is starting to sound like the "how to keep mice out of the camper during the winter" problem...
