  • If you have ever experienced the crushing feeling of a deer demolishing your plants in the garden, try this simple fencing method and get the better of them. It relies on their instinctual priority to protect their jumping legs. Super cheap to install and 100% effective. (I installed it over ten years ago, I'm surrounded by deer and not one has dared to enter the garden.)

    I have a great deal of gratitude and respect for someone that is not hurting the living creatures of this earth. I see most videos using electrical devices that is clearly unnecessary. Sending my unconditional love to all

    I've heard of something similar a year ago with some homesteaders in Missouri to protect their fruit trees. We have lived on our property for well over thirty years. And we always have been on a deer trail. They always have been busy eating our evergreens during winters, but just three years ago they started to demolish our garden which has had a lower fence all these years. I think it may be an over population because the little cal government only allows one deer per year and you need a licence. The winters have been somewhat mild and there has been enough food for the deer to eat over the winters.

    That's amazing, I've seen so many methods but the way you explains the psychology behind it, and the simplicity of the system makes it the best in my opinion. Thank you for posting this video. Please post any other tricks we could use 🙂

    Excellent video! Simple, straight to the point, no irritating noise (muzak), and your comments on your experience/success with this method over many years. Thanks much!

    I’ve used that method for goats that jumped a fence but the white cord was over the main fence. Worked!

    I would not expect deer to be good at self preservation based on my experience, but maybe you're right. My sister had some as "pets" for some time and they hurt themselves on fences several times and she said they weren't too bright based on what she saw. I ought to try something out either way because deer regularly eat most of the buds off of newly planted apple trees and set them back or kill them.

    Great idea! Going to give this a try. No Mulies where I live, just those wiley whitetails. Curious to see if it will work on them as well. Thanks.

    That's great. I've seen this described as 3D fencing, but I think the design I've seen places to white rope OUTSIDE of the fence rather than INSIDE. Do you know if either way works equally well? In the latter case, the deer approaches the white rope and hesitates due to the higher fence behind it. What do you think?

      A lot less expensive that laying down pipes on the ground outside of the fence. Heard that deer 🦌 are afraid their hooves might get stuck in pipes? ~ Ever hear about 5 gallon buckets 🪣 of water 💦 with a layer of sunflower 🌻 seeds floating to control chipmunks 🐿️ in our gardens? ~ It works! ~ 😔 Sad so many chipmunks committed suicide in my garden 🪴!

    How far apart can you set the outer 8ft posts with the braided wire?

    I was wondering if that fence would work for bobcats. To keep them away from my property. They come in to eat my animals etc..

    Can you recommend what to do to keep mice out?

    • @GrowFoodWell
      @GrowFoodWell  Год назад +3

      If you are overrun with mice, using the old farm bucket with a horizontal coffee can suspended on a wire between handles works well. Put about 8" of water in bottom of bucket, drill hole in center of top and bottom of capped coffee can or similar empty can, then run wire through can, wire it taught horizontally between top handles so the can spins on the wire. Now spread peanut butter around can middle. Place wooden ramp or similar from ground to lip of bucket. Add touch of peanut butter to bottom of ramp. The mice will do the rest. When they jump to the can, they will drop in the drink. You can catch twenty per night this way. To reset the bucket trap, discard the spent mice and refill with water, reset ramp.

      I put a pan out with black oil sunflower seeds and add raw or unsalted peanuts. The squirrels would rather eat that than my fruit or crops.

      For squirrels or other large rodents I use a "have a heart" trap and relocate them minimum of 6 miles away.
