I was thinking of an outdoor planting next year an need something to protect against deer nibbling the young plants.
The situation does not allow much of any trips to check on the plants, can but prefer not. The location I used before and is safe, but one time deer chewed them totally.
I thought of a circular tomato cage and wire the top so they couldn't reach inside. Thinking the branches could grow through the wire gridding and grow large enough to survive deer nibbling.
The plan was to prepare the soil early...use slow release fertlizers and return near harvest time.
I know that means possible shock of nothing, but that's ok, it isn't a big deal if they do not survive at all.
Anyone have experience using that grow system? Just plant and forget until harvest? Appreciate tips on what to avoid and what worked best?
Thanks
