In the first few years of this garden, we lost much of the food we grew to creatures of various sizes. The fence in the background took care of deer and discouraged bears, and the copper flashing round the greens in the front left bed worked against the massed hordes of slugs that came out every early morning and evening. We killed between 50 and 100 every day for a month, too, and that put a dent in the population. . . #deerfence #slugs #copperflashing #newgarden #gardenhomestead
