Thread Name: BS: Defeating Deer in the Garden
Subject: RE: BS: Defeating Deer in the Garden
We used Liquid Fence with great success for several years... It wasn't 100% and the young deer would sample regardless... Certain plants would get eaten even with the Liquid Fence: acubas and hostas being the main ones...

The deer fence isn't 8 fett... It's 7 1/2 feet, black plastic with 2 inch squares and tough... We've had a couple attempted breakins but the deer isn't strong enough to break it...

People say that deer can jump over a 7 1/2 foot fence... Well, we back up to the Shenandoah National Park which is the largest game refuge in Virginia and we have thousands of deer and if they can jump over a 7 1/2 foot fence none of these have ever pulled it off...
