Let's try an Electric Wheelbarrow! Perfect tool for the garden!
What happens here
Install an electric deer fence around the garden beds to protect the newly planted crops. Use two lines of poly braid (a type of electric fence wire) spaced about 36 inches apart. Utilize 'strain-rite step-in posts' for the corners and along the fence line to maintain tension and height. Connect a solar-powered electric fence controller, specifically a 'Zareba 30-miler' in this case, to electrify the poly braid. Ensure the fence is slightly irregular or 'oblong' as this can confuse deer and prevent them from easily jumping over it.
Goal: Protect the garden from deer using an electric fence
