Hi All.

Just moved to a new place with a big back yard. Love to garden. Found
out that we have a zoo (Deer,Rabbits, Groundhogs, Squirels and the
occasional bird).

I really don't want to double fence my yard.

Any ideas?

If you go to the mall a dog might follow you home from the pet store.

Actually, I am also looking forward to the helpful answers you receive.

We double fenced our yard (sort of). The garden is in the
middle of the back yard - the whole back yard is fenced off,
and is the area where our two big dogs spent a lot of time.
The garden itself has a little chickenwire fence (to keep
out rabbits and the dogs).

So far this has worked fine. No problems from any critters
yet.

Birds: those I like in my garden. They are my 'insect
control specialists'. The more, the merrier.

I don't grow corn - if I did, I'd cover it with floating row
cover until it sprouted so that the birds wouldn't eat the
seeds.

(I realize you're kidding...but cannot help saying...)

If the O.P. does want a dog...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't buy
one from a pet shop: it supports exceedingly cruel
practices, PLUS people very often get dogs with serious
health or character problems that way.

If anyone wants a dog, please see: http://www.petfinder.org
or your local animal shelter.
