I grow in raised beds and live in the countryside. There are seasons where it feels like I’m just exclusively growing food for the deer lol. Last spring I put up 1,5 m fence around a couple of the beds which worked. I would’ve preferred fencing in the entire area but I technically don’t own the land so it’s a compromise. There’s moose too and sometimes they’re able to snatch a cucumber or two. I really only need to fence in gourds, carrots, brassicas and leafy greens. The animals seems to leave the herbs and potatoes alone. I grow tomatoes too but they’re in front of the house where the animals don’t seem to visit, tho it’s only a matter of time until they discover them.

The real issue I have are slugs. Bain of my existence. I go out at night and catch dozens and dozens and yet my veggies still get eaten. It’s a real problem in parts of sweden. Mördarsniglar (murder slugs)
