Deer come in my yard all the time (they got some tulip sprouts this week).

I have a chicken wire fence 30” high, with 3 strands of electric fence on top.
I have no problem with deer in the garden.

I agree. The Mennonites grow some awesome vegetables.
We go to the Versailles area frequently for produce I don’t have room to grow.

We often have deer in our yard, especially at night. Last year they really took a liking to the rose bushes right next to our house.

I want to put in a vegetable garden so I've been worried about this. Someone on FR gave me a recipe for deer repellant, but I haven't tried it out yet. I'm not sure I'd want to put in an electric fence 30" off the ground as I have a young child.
