I was interested in the height of the "elk fence," something new to me. As a person who fights deer, who often denude my hosta garden, the idea of building such a formitable fence to keep out wildlife is amazing to me. My garden of hostas and iris hugs the woods behind my townhome. And since our homeowners' association prohibits fencing, I'm trying the Irish Spring method of deer repellant ... wish me luck!
