Great video! Made me realise I've been overthinking things, and I should actually just get some plants in a trough and get started! 😂

Gret video. Any discoloration or fading over time due to sun?

Would I need to use taller posts to protect a tree? Or could I just place these shorter posts and the fishing line further away from the tree so that deer would touch the line before ever getting close enough to reach their necks out and start nibbling? I had 3' chicken wire around an 18" to 2' red Japanese maple sapling. Deer, not only chewed the top the last several years, but learned to stick their heads in and chew along the bottom branches, too. Lost the entire center of the sapling and one side branch this year. All that remains is the other side branch, so it's a goner. They are now working on a green Japanese maple that is taller, maybe 4'. I have 2 of them. The other took off this year and is about 5'. They just started nibbling the tops of the smaller one. It's even further away from the suspected point of entry. I swear they were watching me water it the other day, or perhaps they saw me cutting twist ties off that were girdling the branches. Somehow they suddenly found this tree. Again, they must've been watching me. I swear. These trees are very important to me, as my cat was nibbling on them when I had brought them inside to prune while they were still in their pots. My cat has kidney disease. I want him to enjoy them. His name is Willow, and he is named after a tree. I'm feeling sick tonight, worrying about both my cat and his trees. I threw some chicken wire around the smaller tree, as it was getting late, without hammering any pins into the ground to secure it. So now I'm worrying that I broke branches or a grazer will tonight, as the wire is just leaning in and pushing on the branches as it curls around the tree.

I tried this a few days ago. I drove 5-foot high poles into the ground and strung six lines of 30 pound fishing line from top to bottom and pulled them tight, then went one step further and sprayed deer repellent around the perimeter. None of it made any difference whatsoever. The very next morning and every morning since, deer tracks everywhere and they destroyed all my plants again. I even found tufts of hair caught on the fishing line where they squeezed between the lines to get in. I've given up and taken everything down.

I know a lot of people that have tried the fishing line and they say it doesn’t work. I know a lot of people that use the fishing line and they say it does work lol😂

Only thing I worry about with this method for my area is affecting owls and other birds. We have a ton of owls (and filed mice that they feed on).

Tried them for myself, works better than i thought!~ <3

Nice gardens and very interesting. You have a green thumb for sure, especially growing those from seed.

I would love to buy some seeds from you or send a stamped envelope for some.

Thanks for the detailed video. How is the glue holding up long term?

I took a shot of bourbon every time he say FMNF I passed out half way thru

The key is to make something strong enough to keep deer out but easy enough to move around so you can get in to weed and water. I used some chicken wire this year with cheap plastic green stakes. They are super easy to move in and out when I water and weed but the stakes bend and give too easy. It worked for awhile but last night they finally worked up enough nerve to just trample right over it. Today I have bit off green pepper plants, chewed up beans and they even munched on my tomato plants. A lot of sweat and dirty hands right down the toilet in one night! Looks like I'll have to use stronger posts next time. That will make it harder for me to get into the garden. I thought about using them drawstring nettings next time for my peppers and tomatoes. The last few years I used netting and hoops for my beans and that works great to keep everything out but it's a lot of work.😮‍💨

Why didn’t you show the deer staying out of the area with the trail camera?

Jim: I watched your video yesterday. Bought 5 ft. stakes and 30 lb. fishing line. Installed the posts and line. For the first time in 3 months, my security cameras did not record video of deer destroying my garden. I will provide an update in 30 days but I'm so excited that I may having found---thanks to you!---a way to keep these beautiful pests out of my yard!!! Thank you!

Mosquito circle hooks work as well. This way, you don't have to go up in size to use a circle hook. I use them for fresh water and saltwater.

LMAO....Sir when we reach our age. we forget about the line and telling our company about it....couple toddies and go weed we forget again too..

Wow. You lit 'em up. From the reasonable comments, I think I'll go with hot wire. But this video really pulled the crazies out of the woodwork.

Nice. I always use distilled water or rain water. I’m assuming watering the bog garden first time with tap from the hose be won’t affected by it.

like your spider

Take your hatches off and run silicon around the edges .Ours leaked and that’s what we did.

This is a really good video covering the basics. I followed this kind of plan myself and found it helpful. But I also found maintaining the plants to be tricky because of a couple factors, or at least some issues came up. To start with, there is the pot. If it's outside, then it seems it could risk getting flooded from rainwater and drowning the plants. One way to keep it from getting flooded could be to put holes at half of the height of the pot. But the risk then is that the water could just run out through the holes and dry out the contents. The pot could dry out if you aren't careful about keeping it watered. One way to try to address this problem is to put a terrarium glass over it, which also has the benefit of keeping the humidity at a good level. But the problem there is that if it's outside, then the glass could make it really hot inside of the terrarium and essentially bake the plants. Then another problem is that the soil can freeze in the winter. If you plant it in the ground, then it's not as much of a problem because in the ground, it's only the top layer that ices. But the problem is that in a jar, the contents are more susceptible to freezing and thus killing the plants. Admittedly the tubs in this video are so big that this might not be an issue. All the best.

I used the same 8-foot high polypropylene fence, but I installed Rebar instead of the 6 foot U-bar because I can easily order from ACE 10 foot rebars. I also found that by leaving only one entrance/exit walkway free of any fence, the deer never came into my garden to eat. The deer could have easily come into my garden through my single entrance/exist walkway, but they never did. By the way, since you have your polypropylene fence touch the ground, how do you kill the weeds that grow there?

This was the storm that took place while I was looking for a home on Conway and surrounding areas. It convinced me to not buy a home in this area and ended up looking well west in the Lexington/Columbia area.

Can it be twine or rope?

I fished with Jim using this set up and seen it work. I have also used flies that I’ve tied under weighted bobbers. They work well also.

circle hug no good, the fish go away, l lose big stripper bass big one, the hug before was beter 🐟

Thanks

Those adjust=a bubbles are so underrated.

How do they stick to the older deck?......or do they just rest on top of them?

I have a 2072VFX. It looks the same as yours less a few items. I liked that SeaArk let me pick and chose what I wanted. And yes my hatches do leak. I was told the boat needs to be level but they still leak. I love the 15 degree stepped V hull. It is great for trolling, tracks nice and straight. The 2023 115 has double camshafts which makes for a more powerful and efficient motor. Great Rig!

Will probably do something similar in my backyard. It looks like the entire country is at mercy of deer :(. Thanks for sharing!

It works for me last year. I am adding it to a new bed. I’m planning right now thanks for the tip.

I am trying a motion activated sprinkler.

There is nothing like a V8. I have a 2023 2072VFX the same color. I tow my boat with a 2016 Ford F250 pickup.

Size #4 does look big for bluegills but it seems to work for you, so I will give it a try.

Great review

What pound test line are you using? I imagine the lighter trout lines won’t work.

Thanks!

This is great. Also love how you go about this... Will be doing this soon

Thanks for posting. Are alligators a concern?

Great video! Is it difficult to remove without breaking the plastic snaps?

Nice boat but with no vee it will slap in rough water

This is JUST what I was looking for! Elegantly simple and effective. Love it! Especially the gate!

I used this exact fencing for my garden, until one day, I went out there to get a tomato ,an what did I find, but 2 dead butterflies an a little bird that was severely caught, so this horrible junk plastic came down, this stuff I will never have on my property again, I'll give up a tomato to never cause this again, I really don't know how to destroy it,without causing harm to our environment

We tried this and the deer kept breaking the line and then tearing up the garden. We have a heavy deer population and the only thing that actually keeps deer out is an electric fence combined with Livestock horse fencing.

Been doing this for years, and for the first few years, it worked fine. Unfortunately, they get wise and start finding ways to get through. I think desperation and starvation from the worst winter we had a couple of years ago made them determined to get through those lines, and now that they found a way through, they now do it all the time, even when theres still vegetation out there. They EASILY chew the fishing line (been using the 50 lb) and even push through between lines once they leave a big gap between them. It's been hard trying to keep up and repairing the lines almost daily now, so I've started looking for other ways to keep them out of my plants.

We start the t-posts with the pounder and then push down with the tractor bucket.

So helpful thank you this video is better than the manufacturer perfect scenario videos haha. Thank you sir

Will be trying these hooks

The deer are not everywhere. they are mainly gathered at your house. You may wish to try bow hunting. It is rather silent. If a deer falls in the woods, does it make a.........
