Hey Guys,
Just hoping to get some opinions on keeping the deer off of my vines. They have been coming in late at night eating the leaves off. I'm in southern Ohio & the deer are a big problem. I also hear once I start getting grapes the turkeys may come in after them - but I'm not worried about the turkeys yet.
I just put up a single wire electric fence tonight & have intentions on adding the peanut butter in aluminum foil every 10 ft tomorrow - as I read on another vineyard site this tactic works well.
I have a local vineyard that uses 2 single wire electric fences 4ish feet apart. He says they will jump one, but not 2 wires.
Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
