I have some raised beds that I plant a variety of things in. I have some that are 4'x4' and planted with strawberries. The deer considered it a buffet last year so I am looking for solutions.

I purchased some "Super Hoops" from Gardeners Supply and thought I would cover them with bird netting, but I don't want it to be something hard to remove every day for harvesting. Is there a good bird netting that doesn't tangle? or another option that would still look nice, let in sun and moisture and be easy.

Easy is a priority for me. I don't want to use chemicals or sprays on something we will eat.

I don't know but we have discovered bird netting doesn't keep birds out. They try to go through, get caught and die. Its sad.

That's true.

Thanks for the replies .... I didn't have much of an issue with birds last year but I sure don't want to endanger them. I used chicken wire, just laid over the beds last year but it was a pain to take off every time I wanted to pick a berry. (and ugly ... I do care about ugly)

I suppose some kind of frame could be made, but I'm not handy at that sort of thing.

Thanks for the tip on the birds, I'll keep searching for something else.

How about a fence with a gate? Can you fence the garden area? Deer are good jumpers but don't usually like to get into a small area. Figure out what you want then hire someone to do the work. Makes it easy!
