Last year my pots were very close to the house, so critters didn't bother the garden. Next year I'm putting my beds in the back where deer, rabbits and a whole host of critters will have at my garden.

What should I do for a fence?
Thanks

I have yet to find a fence a deer can't jump if they really try so my suggestion is to consistantly use homemade repellents

I have heard that rabbits hate marigolds, not sure of it would work but it would look nice.
If you are desperate, a really confident old timer once told me to "git out and urinate around the garden" :eek: but I haven't been so brave nor had the need to try it. :)

I like the miragolds, because them are pretty. Urinating is free...and I'll bet it works. I don't have to drop trough in the garden..could pee in a cup. LOL
I like it...sounds good, I'll let you know how it works. Any Idea what one might eat or drink beforehand? LOL
