I'll try to give answers to each of you.
First, A plastic bag fence is very easy to erect. I used metal fence posts, but could have used those slender rods as used for electric fence. I had the fence posts. I used a big spool of cord strapping tape, strung around the perimeter of the plot. White plastic bags (the colored ones don't work good) like from Walmart, etc. were then tied to the tape at 5-6 foot intervals. The tape was kept about 30-36 inches from the ground. Don't know what the deer sees, but they seem to avoid them.

Farm Hunter,
I planted the seeds Sept. 9th. Used a spredder on a tractor, broadcast. They were not tilled in, just driven over to get soil contact. Germination was pretty good. I put the fence up as soon as I was done with the tractor & ATV, (soil contact). The peas are climbers, and as there wasn't anything for them to climb, the vines spred across the ground, some were 15-20 inches. I took the fence down Nov. 12, gun season started on Nov. 22. Grazing was slow until a frost. Currently, the plot is still green but well chewed down. It is about 90% chewed to almost ground level. It will be interesting if the roots survived and will regrow. As we had 6 inches of snow Monday, the 16th. I don't think our spring is here yet. If they don't make it, I will definitely replant. The plot still has a good green color.

Lunch Bucket,
The clover plot is 3+ yrs. old. The clover is very spotty, as the deer really worked it over before they started on the peas. I believe retilling, spraying and replanting would be best. I have two other plots of clover that still look good, but this plot has "had it".

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but was helping the daughter and her husband move.
