PERMABREED

 Vegetable garden. I built a fence around my vegetable garden because we have so many deer here and we don't have a dog. Last year all beans and cabbage plants were eaten by deer. I used a mixture of chestnut poles and metal posts to hold the fence up. The fence is a 1.5 (5foot) meter high sheep fence. Deer can probably jump over this if they really want to but i hope it will discourage them. Someone told me you can also put down the compost from your dry toilet and this will repel dear because they don't like the smell of humans (haven't tried this yet) I am going to use the Ruth Stout method of gardening adding hay mulch to my beds every year. To kickstart things off i had a friend of mine rotovate the soil with his tractor, then i put down a thick layer of farm yard manure and lots of hay on top.

 Vegetable garden. I finally managed to build a fence around my vegetable garden to keep the deer out. After having had my veggies destroyed several times by deer, us living in the middle of nowhere surrounded by forests and not having a dog, i knew i had to do this. Now the fence is 1.5 meters (5foot) tall and apparently deer can easily jump this i am still hoping that it will discourage them. I had a friend rotovate the soil with a tractor and out lots of farm manure on the beds. Then i covered it with a thick layer of hay thinking of starting a Ruth Stout vegetable patch. The Ruth Stout method essentially consists of piling a thick layer of hay onto your beds each year and as time goes on you can work the beds with your hands only. The edges will surely need weeding, I think.
