on top of the pathetic precipitation in CA so far this fall, the deer are laying waste to my orchard. Kind of breaks my heart to see the peach tree trunks with gouge marks from deerhooves and all the branches broken.
I looked into fencing but besides being ugly, its too expensive (like 6000)....
so does anyone have any suggestions for a low cost deer barrier? I've been looking on youtube and people say that 30#fishing line works well, strung every 24" - but I've also heard a strand of electrified wire can do the job.
I know this is a bit off topic but I figure you folks all speak from real experience
Thanks for your help
