Having come from city living to the real country I ended up creating a pocket park in a 40 x 90 foot area ... I have multiple flower garden beds, different seating areas and some raised beds in the back for veggies ... we surrounded it with a 6-foot fence we got at a tractor supply co. mounted on cedar poles ... there seem to be enough obstacles (trees, shrubs, etc.) combined with the height of the fence to keep the deer out ...

Oh and then we found the size of the grid in the fencing was large enough to let in rabbits and other destructive critters -- waiting for the coyotes to come back and eat them ...

And if voles are a problem (I got hit really hard this year) go to YouTube and search for "kill vole" and watch eskibars video -- it works! too bad I didn't see it until they ate all my alliums!
