Deer problems


Question
Hello.  My husband and I live by a river and I believe deer continually come into our yard at night. We put up a vegetable garden and put rabbit fencing around it since we have a lot of them around the yard.  I have noticed lately that the tops of my tomato plants have been chewed off along with some zucchini plant and pepper leaves.  It almost looks like a deer jumped over the fence and got into the garden and munched on everything.  I have Liquid Fence and have sprayed this to deter them.  Is there anything else I can do to keep them out?  Am I correct in thinking this is probably a deer's work?  Thank you for your help.

Answer
Hi Bethany,

Deer follow streams, so it is inevitable you would have them around at night. The damage sounds typical. Look for their tracks near the damage. Deer can jump over a 7 foot fence so a low garden fence isn't even a challenge.  I make a solution that might interest you. I guarantee it works.
