Never tried an electric fence. Is it tall enough that the deer can't jump over it
I was watching GOOD EATS on the Food Network last night. The host of the show, Alton Brown, said to keep deer out of your garden, plant the herb rosemary around the perimeter...deer can't stand the smell of it....they will not walk through it nor get near it. My dad and I planted eight rows of pink-eye purple hull peas in our garden and I have seen evidence of deer browsing. Maybe I'll try the rosemary theory next year.

I read on another forum that if you put strips of tin-foil every few feet on the electric wire loaded with peanut butter, that'll do the trick. Apperently deer love PB, and will get zapped every time they try it, thus giving them the notion that your garden is a pianful place to be.

Hi Charles,
I am in north central Miss. and we also have a deer problem. I have
tried, human hair and mothballs. This year I put up a three-strand
electric fence. So far, hold your breath, it is working. They wre eating
up the plants just as there were starting to bloom. Then I put up the fence
and have seen no more evidence of browsing.
We harvest one or two each season but still too many I guess.
Hope both of our fences do the trick.

Tell him to get a "gallagher". They are used to keep elephants out of rubber trees, wolves/coyotes away from sheep. They work!! "Course, you gotta give 'em a good ground.

Even without the gallagher, we never see elephants in the rubber trees around here.

My method of electric fence
My fence is a 5 wire version. I think it is like that used by Univ. of PA to keep deer out of their tree farms. The first strand is about 4 inches of the ground and the rest are 8 to 10 inches apart. Total height is 5 foot. As long as the battery doesn't die all goes well. Its worked well for 3 years here in Maine. Only problem is that the grass needs to be trimmed regularly as the first wire is so close to the ground.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
