Well, we didn't like deer even before we moved here.


What's not to like... deer are gentle creatures, they bother no one... I
like having deer around. Besides, they supply free fertilizer.

They may supply free fertilizer, but you won't have anything to fertilize.


I only wish they'd eat more and faster, I'd have less to mow.

And this is about as organic as it gets:

I don't know... nothing to fertilize... looks mighty green to me:

And I can plant whatever I want and do, just not what the critters like
where they can get to it... do you leave big bowls of M&Ms out where your
obese kids can get to it, jugs of booze where your alkie hubby can get to
it, would you leave tonight's burgers out where your dog can get to it... of
course not, and only an idiot would plant deer's favorite greenery within
their easy access. And if you don't like the deer you should have stayed in
your inner city tenement appartment, the muggers wouldn't bother your potted
fern.



Sorry, I never lived in an inner city tenement apartment, did you?

It looks to me like you have to have fences around what you plant too,
at least we don't have to fence our new trees.
