It might help you with your deer problem.<BR/><BR/>"The best way to keep deer out of the the garden is to not plant one. The second best way to keep deer out of the garden is to put a few fence posts around the garden. Then take a piece of strong string and encircle the garden using the fence posts a support. Try to not tie the string to posts. The string should be about two feet from the ground. Tie plastic grocery bags to the string every ten to twenty feet. As the deer step into the string the bags move. This bag movement is seen and heard by the deer and they leave. Sounds crazy, but it really does work."<BR/><BR/>The second best way sounds good, and would be a convenient way to reuse some of those plastic bags we all have taking up space somewhere in our homes. <BR/><BR/>Barring plastic bags, old t-shirt strips would probably work well, too, especially they weren't washed first.<BR/><BR/>I'm very glad that you are enjoying bounty from our seed! Please note that, if you order seed before 11/15, you can also enjoy our 2008 pricing.<BR/><BR/>Your website is great, too, thank you for sharing!the webmaster at Johnny's Selected Seedshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02135283615190851799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-89959749701966098562008-10-18T11:31:00.000-04:002008-10-18T11:31:00.000-04:00I have fence envy. <BR/><BR/>We're just renting, so we're not going to build something that nice, but I guess we're going to have to do something next spring. The deer just like the peas we ordered from you back in August too much. Liquid fence works for a while, and pepper spray helps, but it all washes away in the rain, and it's too expensive to keep reapplying every time.<BR/><BR/>We're really happy with the plants, BTW. Great spinach and collards. We can't wait to order from you in the spring!<BR/><BR/>Hope you can check out my old organic gardening site, which I'm happy to be finally working on again.<BR/><BR/>http://supak.com<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Scott Supakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529312586679833360noreply@blogger.com
