As for deer, a few lines of electric fence would work wonders. If that's
undesirable, try stringing some heavy nylon monofiliment line around
the garden (at various levels, up to 6' or more). Make sure it is strong
firmly strung, so that a deer walking up to it won't go right through.

My guess is that it wouldn't hurt to hang a few junk CDs
(AOL, others) from the monofilament line. Be nice to find
some use for them anyway - other than as coasters.

(I've only read that the monofiliment line can baffle/stop deer; I use an
electric fence to stop the groundhogs and raccoons from getting into
my vegetable garden.)

We haven't had to do this yet. Our garden is surrounded by
my dogs - although they sleep in the house at night. So
far, so good. But if I have critter damage, we'll use
electric fence too.
