    Wow, now that's the solution to deer alright! Loved your descriptions and advice on how to accomplish this. I was headed towards growing only lavender and mint, but now I see another option! Blessed

    this deer netting is probably the best option--however the supports used are pretty important too. unfortunately I used wooden posts and just found that a deer had snapped the wood in half and gone in to eat all the remaining leaves on dozens of rose bushes. these were thick wood posts, so this swine must have leapt right into the net. At least the net didn't rip.

    I understand you snapping! I am a hunter and I stopped hunting deer after getting one. But once they started eating my plants, I was ready to hunt them again!

    Impressive. This is a very well done lens -- clear and informative, with a bit a humor and a lot of commonsense. Golly -- and to think I was a basket case over squirrels in my attic (lensrolling this to my squirrels lens, btw). Blessed and it will be features on my Winging It lens.

    Wow, what a project! As someone who loves her garden, I can see how important it is to keep deer out and I just love it when us girls are not frightened to tackle jobs traditionally doen by the men.

    Congratulations on your Purple Star and thanks for adding this lens to my Purple Star plexo.

    We have a small herd of deer in our backyard, but I don't think I have the energy to put up that fencing. kudos to you!

    Wow! I don't think I could do it.

    Oh - if I was only a squidangel, I'd be blessing this lens in an instant. Aside from the image of those poor deer hurling themselves at that fence of yours that is. I mean really: great step by step guide to protecting your real estate from deer. Dutch deer are still very shy. So imagining deer coming right up to a house is a bit weird to me. But then US squirrels are way less shy than continental European ones too, so perhaps it's a nationality thing?
