Fences to Keep the Critters Out of the Garden - Family Plot

There are many fences available and some do better than others at keeping animals out of the garden. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison talks about the different kinds. Wooden privacy fences will keep deer out of the garden. Adding metal mesh buried under the wood fence will keep out rabbits. But raccoons will be able to climb over a wood fence and wooden fences are expensive. A less expensive option is poly deer fence, but that is still not as effective as an electric fence. Mike talks about electric fences and how to put them up to keep both deer-sized and raccoon-sized animals out of the garden. Electric fences are very effective with minimal effort and cost.

Herbicide in this day and age is just downright ignorant and foolish. Not a steward of the land.
