I had Deer coming into my new garden last winter. They were jumping the wire (sheep wire).

I got scrap boards from old pallets cut them to 3 inch wide lengths and screwed them into the stakes and I got electric fence tape and them plastic holders roughly a foot and a half higher than the sheep wire. The fence is not on its just high enough to stop them jumping. No problem since.

Crop cover for the Rabbits with hoops otherwise they will walk on the crop cover.

And the reason I am here now is Badgers with about 2 months done a fair bit of damage last night. Thought I was rid of them between a scare crow, biscuit tins banging off stones and old cds at their height from ground and urine along the sheep wire.

All out of ideas now.

Charles does the cover keep the badgers off the beds. I have no cover on this garden yet this year because I have not transplanted yet with the cold.
