basically an endless supply of critters when you live in a clearing out in

oh, the other thing i forgot to mention is planting
decoy areas further out along the edges away from
the gardens to help encourage critters to stay over
there and away from the more protected gardens.

we have the fence for deer too. requirement here.
and we also don't bother to grow sweet corn as that
draws raccoons even over the fence. for the number
of times we eat it (three or four) it's better to
just get it from the store or from a neighbor who's
nice enough to bring some to us.
