Hello, Cult here and would first like to say "WOW" this site has totaly changed since the last time i was on, it looks perrty. lol
so anyway, i'm putting in a vegitible garden and i need advise on what kind of fence to put around it.
i have rabits, voles, moles, deer and cyoties in my area all of witch i would like to keep out... but mainly i would like to focus on the rabits and the deer (i figure the cyoties aren't going to be much of a problem)
i'm wondering what kind of fence to use, chicken wire is all i can think of, but how high do i need to make it to keep deer out? and do i need to dig it into the ground? how deep if i do? will chicken wire keep deer out at all?
how do you all keep those critters out?
... or should i just clean my 20 gauge?
any advise would help, i've had gardens before but not in this area, and i live right across from a "nature preserve" (which is basicly a bunch of old cornfields and swamps with some wooded areas) where there are lots and lots of these critters who come into our yard all the time... which i don't mind as long as i figure out a way to keep them from eating my shit.
so ty for your help.
