What do you do if a deer does jump in? How do you detect it, and how do you get it out? Dead or alive?
I’m thinking of trying a fruit salad tree in a small back yard next spring. Thanks for the advice 🙏
Sick duck camo jacket my guy
Namaste Sirji 🙏🌺🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Why everything is getting blurred? Thumbs down
Do you have any adice on selling apples? I started some trees a few years back and am now getting lots of apples. I thought about farmer market but they charge a lot to let me sell.
Thanks for the advice
sir have you ever used anything that moves in a breeze . we use mule tape deer see it moving dont know how big it is but like you said deer crawl under fences
I have been wondering to put up a fedge made with Alder-trees; 1) fast-growing, 2) nitrogen-fixing, 3) among the least palatable trees (i.e not very interesting for wildlife). However, when researching wind-breakers I read that 60-70% coverage is the best, and that too much (i.e a fedge) might cause issues with turbulence and not a very good wind-break. Any experience in that regard?
So your method is to plant a fence? Or install a fence?
Deer don't grow where I am 😔 ill have to plant some first.
Blackberry or raspberry thickets can be 8' high and very wide. It will build itself too
You can also just make a hedgerow.
In the Ozarks using osage orange an native mulberries.
You use saplings bend them other and tye them together. Then when you get a year's groth you wave the new branches together.
Next year you will have a fence that nothing will be able to penetrate.
Deer,horses etc take a running jump. Unlike goats,that can stand beside a fence and jump it.
Brambles make excellent fences😸
Snakes
Trees and fences don't mix.
🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍇🥝🍒🍑🥭That’s fine good idea as long as those trees that you’re planning next to the fence line are fruit trees also
Why don’t you tell them to plant something decent like Hawthorne?
That’s the cure, so nobody has a heart attack
What kind of trees did you want them to plant something non-edible on the best piece of land of their entire property
No, the height of the fence not a bunch of Bush
Constantine wire military grade
Get that deer tangled up in that stuff then you could come out and see it squirming and being ripped apart bleeding all over the place and what do you get?

We are making orchards if the deer want to come over, we could have pits for them to fall into with spikes on the floor to plunge through them
With a bunch of 🐉🐲 dragons ready to eat them if you want to tell him what really works
🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩 standard poodles. They are the most vicious creatures on the planet, especially when they are in packs.
They turn into gang members against anything that comes into their territory like dear
They hide carefully, creeping up on the deer, and especially if baby shows up weights even opens up the gate for the young deer, and shut it right behind them
Yes, the poodles is a must have😊
One European brush fence idea is to use poles to pile the brush between so it's 2- 3' deep! Again, makes good refuge for birds and wildlife, and vines can grow over.
Ah rat nests…I mean brush piles or was that fires hazards. I keep getting those three confused.
Hedgerow
My deer in orlando are small..they ate allmy young trees😂😂 i bought metal fence roll in home depot and put cages around then…WORKED GREAT ❤❤❤❤ THE TREES ARE BIG NOW
The brush pile doesn't need to be high, basically only up to the "knees" of the deer. The main reason it's effective is deer don't like stepping into any obstacle that could impede their ability to take flight if they sense danger.
In the book Gaia's Garden, Toby Hemenway uses the term "Fedge" as a combo of food + hedge, meaning it's a hedge filled with wild foods on the outside to allow the deer to snack on – as they go down the line they are led away from your property. On the opposite side are your fruit trees, berries etc. that you would prefer not to share with the deer.
Other options include a motion-detector activated sprinkler along the perimeter to scare deer away, and also from Perma Pastures Farm, Billy's Bone Sauce, an all-natural deer repellent which he has a video on and can be found for sale at their website.
