My friends tearing her hair out with deer munching her way through the garden. She can't keep them out as her garden is huge and part of Ashdown Forest. She found a young deer on her doorstep eating a rose that was just going into the garden. She has a few ideas of deer proof plants but can any one suggest more. Thanks.

Thanks Nosey but that is nigh on impossible as the garden is a couple of acres and has no real boundary.

well i think youl have to get your faverite plants or areas and put it round them areas . its worth asking the forestry and maybe buy the trees they plant and learn to live with the deer instead of fighting them . deer are real flighty and are very weary bye nature . i sore the human hair idea watching hue ernly wittingstall keeping foxes away from his chickens out in a big field with cows etc and know fence that would stop a fox who are more neeky and opertunistick buy nature . i have actuly had a monk jack in my front garden in the middle of a housing estate . mine is like a jungle but only 12` x 12` and all the other gadens have know fence as such and grass apart from mine . you can look at it on one of my blogs and youl know what i mean . it must of been there eating or hiding but it didnt seamingly touch the plants . maybe bamboo is good too , i think trees mite be an answer and enjoy the deer .
