Ah, that one morning you wake up to find your garden has turned into an all-you-can-eat buffet for the local deer population. Your precious plants didn’t stand a chance. It’s like those graceful forest critters see your hard work as nothing more than an invitation to a free feast. The good news is that keeping deer out of your garden doesn’t need to be a mission impossible or drain your wallet. With a modest investment in chicken wire, which typically comes in at a few dollars per linear foot, you can safeguard your green space without losing your shirt or harming those invaders.
