How do you keep deer and groundhogs out of gardens? (strawberry and vegtable).?

Have some guys go out and tinkle in areas around the garden. I know it sounds wierd but, it really does work. Had the same problem and an old farmer told me to do it, stopped them overnight.How do you keep deer and groundhogs out of gardens? (strawberry and vegtable).?
The best trick that works in my neighborhood:


people place bird-netting on stakes over the low plants - incl. vegetables.





The bird-netting can be obtained at gardening stores, and looks almost transparent - much nicer than the orange plastic netting that look very garish - but yes, do protect the plants.





Good luck!How do you keep deer and groundhogs out of gardens? (strawberry and vegtable).?
OK this is wiered but it works! Take a stocking and a knife and shave off some Irish Spring Soap. They hate the smell. Seenit work a dozen times. Tie the stocking around something and they will leave!
Electric fence, and ultra sonic frequency emitters. Other than that your screwed.
I don't know about the groudhogs, but bird netting is very effective for deer. Fencing the garden will help also.
Clean out your hairbrush and scatter the hairballs around. Or scatter a little of that cheap aftershave that nobody likes. It is the ';human scent'; and they will stay clear.
