Can you describe the fencing and particularly how you keep weeds from shorting the fence.

Has anyone used Plantskydd, Liquid Fence, or a homemade concoction of
eggs or blood meal? What works for you? Thanks.

The only spray repellent we've yet found that works for deer is BrowseBan. Having said that, we rely more on fencing than spray as we have such heavy deer pressure, but BrowseBan has worked on unfenced crops. http://www.browseban.com/ We also distribute human hair collected from the local beauty shop around the perimeter of the fence. Not sure how much that has an effect versus just the fear of getting shocked, but we figure every little bit helps.
