Now you remember to water clay soil at least 48 hours ahead will make

problem that deer if they cannot see on the other side of the fence
they will not jump over it so instead of all these "products" that make
yards "safe" from roving mouths, you might want to research that option
further. Put up a fence that deer cannot see through. A option.

Since my garden is pretty small and in an open area an opaque fence high
enough to block the view would cut off morning and afternoon light to
the plants adjacent to the fence. Food for thought, however ;-)


My neighbor that is totally fenceless had them foraging on his back
porch with his potted plants this winter. He also had a small Bradford
pear take a beating from a buck that was using it as a rub.
