Will this type of fence out woodchuckS?
Rich "Bob S." wrote in message om... "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... I'm about to start digging a new vegetable garden, and I'm sure the deer will arrive for a late night snack about 20 minutes after I'm done. So, I'm entertaining the though of running an electric fence around the plot. I'm interested in opinions from anyone who's either been satisfied with a specific brand or catalog offering, or totally disgusted (so I can avoid that one). Positive recommendations should refer to units sold in the U.S. -Doug I run 4 strands, 6", 2', 4', and 6'. Chargers come "continuous" or "pulsed". I use a pulsed one for safety reasons - the current is off long enough for you to get loose from it if needed. One of the old tricks is cutting strips of tin foil, clothes pinning them to the hot wire, and rubbing peanut butter on them. A deer or other animal needs only one shock to the tongue to learn to stay away. I have lots of deer on my property, but they have learned to stay out of the garden. Haven't had one in there in years now. Bob S. |
