Default RE: protecting pumpkins

Schobs ; ,
my dad is set on puttin up a chicken wire fence around the patch just to deter the deer,
remember to tell him he will have to put it at least 8' tall to keep them out.then one or two will still try it and mash the fence.then you gotta repair it.

we put a fence around a friends garden; we put hog wire about 2' off the ground,put an electric wire between the hog wire and the ground,then two electric about the hog,one 2' above then another 2' above that.they were on arms at an angle with white rags between the arms. then one or two still got in.
