Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August) available until March 31st, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
You'd probably need to build a fence to stop it escaping but yes , that may work.
There are loads of these products on the market designed to keep 2 and 4 legged pests out of your garden; I would definitely try one of these first:
Solar outdoor motion sensor alarm: Comboss Barking dog motion sensor,motion sensor dog barking sound with 2*130db Noise Maker & 13LED strobe light support Recording, dog barking alarm for home security
Yep -good idea to try I guess. Some of the sound options are somewhat interesting. PKS caught my eye and no doubt my ears also.
I could see a problem with neighbours if there are any. A neighbour of a friend of mine has (had, it mysteriously stopped working
) one of those high pitched sonic deterrent things to keep dogs or cats off. I don’t hear it but my friend can hear it going off anytime anyone or thing walks past. It was driving her crazy with the shrieking.
Perhaps some Jeyes fluid (garden disinfectant) will render the tasty leaves less palletable.
We used to use it around pheasant pens to deter foxes and badgers.

I know you don't want a physical fence but a few strands of electric fence are effective. Happy to advise (we've done this for a number of people)
Brilliant idea. We’ve just been relying on a ‘No cold callers’ sign next to the front door but I think we’ll try your approach.
( I for one really appreciate the effort you've put into this Joke. Bravo Sir, Bravo !! )
Thanks for all the helpful advice, folks. I think the deer has won this one. At least I did my duty by Madame by seeking your advice as she asked.
The thing is, she is a city girl, born in London and brought up there, Paris and Amsterdam and lacks an acceptance of the ways things are in rural areas. Before we got married her father asked me if I would be able to keep her in the style to which she was accustomed. I said I probably couldn't but would accustom her to the style in which I could keep her. Sixty three years later, I'm still working on it.
