Planting Under Trees - Part 9: deer fencing

» Marge_Talt - deer fencing

Well, Barbara, far be it for me to inquire about, ahem, planting in November :-) But, if you gotta stick something in late, daylilies are certainly best candidates, tough little beasties that they are.

Well, if my herculean efforts at fencing and Maginot line constructing fail this year, electric fencing is my next best option. My only concern about that is that the woods are full of undergrowth in summer and I've been under the impression that you have to keep a clear path around the electrical wire or it shorts out. That could prove to be a full time job around here!

Have you any idea how far apart posts or support trees can be for electric fencing?
