    Garden Deer Fence

    We use an electric fence around our garden. It consists of two strands.
The top strand is a high visibility plastic/metal strand at about 30" high.
The other is smooth wire at 15 " high. I do try to keep the grass mowed
under the fence but I also use a weed-burner-fencer that is actuated by a
photo cell so the fencer is on only at night. I use this from about the
middle of April until about the end of October. You wouldn't think this
would keep deer out but deer are like cattle, you need to educate them.
Every spring when I turn the fencer on I put small pieces of tin foil on
both strands between each fence post. On the foil I put a dab of molasses. I
do this for the first week. That usually prevents deer from entering the
garden for the year. Sometime in the middle of the season, if I see foot pri
nts in the garden, I do the molasses thing once more. I haven't had to do
this more than twice in a season. I believe we live in a high pressure deer
area but it isn't that there isn't anything else to eat.
