UPDATE: I couldn't get a slanted fence up this year so I opted for placing rolls of old wire, with the sharp ends facing outward, in front of my potatoes (in stacked tires) that are in front of my green beans on the arched trellis. So far they have munched on the beans at the trellis ends that they managed to get to. I keep landscape fabric on the other side to shade the plants under the trellis so the deer can't get to them. I had to pile junk on one end of the trellis and place a small portable verticle trellis (I use as a door) on the other end to keep them out.
This is my hobo-looking mess of a garden...
We seem to have a very young herd of ignorant deer this year. The mother deer are less than a year old. They and their offspring are sampling EVERYTHING in the open bed of herbs and onions! They have eaten rhubarb, peppers, marigolds, and some of the basil and oregano. What they don't eat, they trample!
Next year I'll be ready for them!!!
