But if you'd rather protect the veggie garden, I've found that fence wire rolled out flat on the ground works pretty good to keep the deer (and the rabbits) away from the veggies. They don't like walking across the wires. It's like the "cattle guards," but for deer and smaller garden pests. Most things grow up through the mesh. Things like tomato and pepper plants, you cut a few squares out of the grid so you can set out your plants. And there has to be enough margin around the edges that the deer can't stand on the good ground and reach over.
