How do I keep deer out of my garden?

1 Answer

Answer :

I would like to know this – we were never able to have hydrangeas, or apples or peaches on the trees due to the deer! I’m not sure there are many effective ways, other than errecting a prison fence around your property…. they are very good at jumping over most fences! at least they are extremely cute, I always loved seeing them, albeit they ate all the flowers!.
