[net.garden] DEER PROBLEMS

piety@hplabs.UUCP (07/26/83)

Does anyone know how to keep deer from eating the berries, fruit tree foliage,
and vegetables from the garden?  A fence is out of the question and although
I've built cages around the trees, the deer simply push in the mesh (chicken
wire) and eat all they want anyway.
I've heard that there are deer repellents available. Do they work?
Has anyone successfully dealt with the same problem?
I'd appreciate any advice on the matter either by net mail or posted in this
group.
     Thanks,
