Gene,
Friends of mine who live in suburbia have lost LOTS of plants to
deer. He now uses the $25 electric fence chargers and strings up the
most economical of fences: "step-in" fiberglass posts and conductive
plastic fence line.
(Note: The Zarebe SP3B fence chargers - "Three mile", sun operated,
about $100) are NOT reliable. Two here quit after rains. One of the
replacements is weak. Our local Co-Op fellow has a collection of bad
ones.)
