Hello everyone

I have all these tree rounds that tree companies drop off as they save money by not taking to the recycling place. I have been thinking about creating some sort of deer fencing with these rounds piled up in any shape and drop soil on them like hugelkultur beds then with small t stakes tie fishing wire. Do deer climb the hugelkultur bed that is say 4 to 5 ft tall and then jump over fishing wire?

outside of hugelkultur bed I will plant cactuses agaves not appetizing and on top of the bed plant something I would like to eat. Would this work

Thank you

The guy who owned our property before us was making a deer proof fence with tree debris.

I am not sure what tree rounds are.

This is what one side of my 40 acres looks like:

By the way, you might be able to get a PEP Badge Bit if you fence looks like that:
