Deerproofing your yard

A new book on the shelf at NMTC-

Deerproofing your Yard & Garden by Rhonda Massingham Hart (SB 994.D4 H375 2005).

The deer are nibbling away at your garden- how do you stop the deer from using your garden as a buffet line without harming the deer? Ms. Hart has a chapter on Deer-o-scaping, Deer deterrents, and the Deerproof garden.

Will her suggestions work? Jim Wilson, former host of the Victory Garden on PBS, wrote in the forward: "Other than high fences, Deerproofing your Yard & Garden doesn't offer a universal recommendation for protecting gardens from damage, but it does offer you a sampler of strategies that work most of the time under most conditions, and it gently but firmly pooh-poohs ineffective gadgets and panaceas."
