Hi Marlin,
This was our first year for planting garbanzo's. We planted two three hundred foot rows, not a border, we plant in three hundred foot rows generally. The deer ate (unfortunately) a lot of lettuce, both leaf and head lettuce on both sides. This was our only experience with garbanzos on a larger scale for us. They were fun to grow but our experience this year they didn't stop our deer problem, row covers did.
Interested to find out more also.
Guy

I posted over a week ago an inquiry about whether or not anyone had heard of or had experience with the idea of planting a border of garbanzo beans around a market garden as a strategy to repel deer. I got no responses. I’m posting again in hopes that someone may have just overlooked it and would indeed have something to share.
