Get Them Deer Out of Here with These TipsI’m torn on this one.
On the one hand, I understand the indiscriminate hunger of deer and the damage they can do to a landscape, or your carefully tended garden. In a single night, they can ravage months of work in the vegetable beds.

Going forward, let’s remember a key facet of gardening that applies doubly to deer duty:
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
