some species are like salad to them ...last season I was
watching from
this puter desk at 4 in afternoon on a sunny day watching
two full size
deer munching my tulips down to the ground ...mid summer
they were
eating sunflower plants that were four feet high ..they
love to dig
thru snow to munch on neighbors myrtle, but only eat the
leaves and the
plants come back in full. Iris only when fresh sprouts
are 5 inches
high. They wont touch daffodils

depending on how harsh the winter ..they will eat
rhodadendron ..flower
buds and leaves

netting is a pain to put up and take down/store

my solution ...single strand of electric fence wire
wrapped around 24
inch fiberglass tent pole section ( spool of surplus fine
guage bare
wire... rewind around coffee can for reuse) ...I move it
from
decorative foundation plants in winter to veg garden in
summer

How high do you place your wire for deer? I'm headed to a
farm supply store
this week, and without advice, I'll probably do my usual
overkill. In this
case, that would mean wire every 12" beginning at ground
level, up to about
10 feet, and a separate set of supports for razor wire and
grenades. But I
suspect I don't need to get quite that involved.
