I completed the sheet mulch of my spring 20×20 annual garden area (6 4×8 beds) and am trying to find some permaculture inspired 2nd line deer defense.
I am going to to fence the area with 4-6 ft fencing on T-posts but know that is +/-. I am considering bordering the entire fence with something deer will love, can feast on and then move on. I heard sunchokes are good for this but also heard they are impossible to manage? I don’t want to be screwed if I want to expand the garden area in the future. Any other ideas?
I am also planting fruit trees for start of food forest behind this and will proper T fence those as well but don’t want to enclose the entire forest so may use your thoughts for that perimeter as well.
Other info: I am just getting started so not sure how intense deer pressure will be but clearly they’re around. Hunting not ever an option.
Tia!
