I'm going on three years where almost all of my garden has been eaten by various wildlife. I live in a woody, suburban neighborhood, but we have a lot of furry friends, it seems. I put out wildlife cameras and got pictures of woodchucks, skunks, raccoons, possums, porcupines,
deer, and a few bears. My garden is not that big, let's say 300 x 200 feet. I'd rather not go electric, but maybe I need to consider it. I have a bunch of those green T-bar stakes (7 footers) and built up a
fence of
chicken wire and then I noticed there was a warning about lead, so I took it all down. I haven't really found any definitive info on whether one
should worry about the lead in
chicken wire, hardware cloth, etc., both of which are used often for these applications. Anyway, if you have ideas or can recommend a really good book or
video about garden fences, please share. Thank you.
