Hi All,

I'm up against the Big Munch. Any advice?

Up until last year, insignificant problem with deer in garden/orchard here. Last year very serious problems in the garden--sweet potatoes devastated.

This year the season is beginning with routine tramping thru the garden every night. Recently transplanted brassicas and lettuces are getting eaten/trampled on.

Have been poring thru online sources--fencing alternatives, repellents, etc. Are there home solutions, not too expensive or time-consuming, that are working for you? I'll be glad to circulate ideas that are particularly useful.

Many thanks.

~Harvey
