We are finishing a deer fence and preparing our new gardens. What will we find?

How tall does a deer fence need to be? We have heard eight feet or more, so we made a 9′ fence. Problem: we need the deer to SEE it, so we have to add lots of flags. That’s next. We’re getting ready to plant a new grocery row garden, and maybe even make some raised beds, so stay tuned. I don’t know if this deer fence will work or not, but I hope so! We are also metal detecting our new garden space in search of buried treasure.

All your videos are awesome, thank you for all you do for us and the precious time you dedicate to your channel. 🌸😊🌸
Love the camera adjustment! Thanks
Hi David, I got my local library to order some of your books today for their catalog Can't wait till they arrive.
Do you plan on adding char and such to the new garden? 😎
My food forest is about 3.5acres now. Started 10 months ago. Going super hard, been implementing quite a few of your thoughts recently. Taking heaps of cuttings from fruit trees and grapes and getting ready to put them in amongst some of the spacers. Will watch u carefully develope this plot and I’m sure I will steal a few ideas.
Yeah,that last video was a bit nauseous
Oh a bond film you may have missed "zip tie the living day lights". I think its a Roger Moore one.
On a serious note. My aunt used flagging ribbon to keep the moose from hitting the barbed wire fence. She said it worked well. So maybe some ribbons.
The "loop and hook" looks like a piece of horse kit. Like the bit or something. Interesting video. 😀
Fun watching this video, I love your humor.
Arts is bad, mmmkay?
Hmmm, I wonder how you can deploy your workerbee horde onto this horrible problem of buried treasures all up under where a new garden needs to be tilled? 🤔 Lol!!!
Oh no, Dave. The last few days, we got ALL the rain in Texas. 😒
It's gonna be a joy watching you and your family build this place up.
I use VCR tape around the perimeter of my garden at the top of my fencing to give the deer a visual. It flashes in the breeze, helping scare the birds off, too. The deer are reluctant to try to jump it, which is a good thing, because they would break it if they hung a hoof. But, it IS free, since I haven't watched those exercise tapes for years.
Get some Christmas tree garland and weave it in and out along the fence. It's bright shiney silver color should be easier to see. You could also try Christmas lights.
Yeah I have been an artist since I was 4 and are now 48.
This video recreated that range finder feel where heads feet hands and subject matter get cut off. Or maybe that feel of being a short person at a concert and you can't see the band.
🙊🙉🙈David 😒you could use the wire for a Su-Johnson bioreactors🙆♀️‼️
You are too funny. I’m subscribing just for poops and giggles
#tacticalsocks #getyourstoday #shoutoutdtg
My feet and ankles look like they have a bad case of teenage acne at all times from fire ant bites…why do I wear flip flops when I could have been wearing the tactical socks? My son even tried to talk sense into me by showing me his socks and work boots but it took DTG to really pound it home! "Merica!" Biscuits!! Treasure!!
But seriously, I can't wait to see yall whip that garden into shape!
👍👍😊😊💕💕
So excited to see the metamorphosis ! So much hard work and will be so worth it. God bless you and your adventurous family !
Yall find any chantrelles yet?
Happy you're back…how fun to watch you create brand new gardens 🙂
I like all your videos. Some remind me of the old Alice in Chains music videos.
‘You don’t like Art’
Bang right there , I hit the 👍
I like How trippy the videos look!
Lolol I'm laughing so hard. I always wondered why people with 1.4 aperture lenses use them all the time, when it just blows out the background that I want to see 😉
Dear Mr. El Bueno,
I would like to take this opportunity to point out the elitist phrase you enjoy using so often.
" Green Thumb", is highly offensive to we, the many who seldom enjoy the green result of a gardening successfully enough to enjoy a harvest worthy of the Shakers.
I am the president, CEO and owner of, The Brown Thumbs. I am here to respectfully represent the multitudes of growers whose efforts benefit critters and bugs and molds and insects and varmints to greater extents than selfishly feeding ourselves. Due to the propaganda and mis/ dis-information promoted by the " media", We, the Brown Thumbs of America, protest the 2%ers who brainwash the masses into believing in a harvest greater than an occasional meal.
We BTs promote the more socio-communo agenda of feeding the less opposable thumbed than you greedy GTs. Our thumbs are brown from remaining in the class of equality represented by the, Digger/Planter/Seeder with no hope of harvest-ers.
Our other many and varied and really unrelated gripes and displeasures are not coming to mind right now; but rest assured, they are there….
Other than this, we mostly/ somewhat enjoy your work, and thank you for it. ( …WORK? ) ( oh please…) [ this guy's having too much fun]
In closing, Best to You and Yours,
The Brown Thumbs of America.
You’re so talented …and funny. I appreciate your efforts
that lens is awesome. You are all lame for complaining
I must be old. I had to go back and rewatch yesterday's video to see what you were talking about. Lol
Why not just "weave some surveyor tape through? Much faster, easier, kids can do it.
Highly recommend: Detectorists BBC show (available on prime.) Not really about metal detecting. G-rated, but for grownups.
No worries brother. Your videos are great, great Explanation and very useful.
I suggest getting what is called Deer No No. It a all natural Deer repellent. Works really well in keeping deer in the distant and Harmless to deer and all other animals.
I appreciate your Minolta, just fine. You are the best!
Cool! Try silver spray paint or glow in the dark spray paint in the netting?
