DeerBusters Jennifer Smith is here to tell us how code "fences" can save us 10% when we solve one of the biggest garden challenges there is especially in 2020!

Intro (2s):

Welcome to the Green Organic Garden Podcast. It is Friday, July 10, 2020. It's my mom and dad's anniversary. If my dad was still alive, I think he'd be married for probably 55 years, something like that. And I am excited because I have a guest who's back in the line to talk to us about something that when I went to Free the Seeds of this year, do you number one out of 40 people? I talked to you. I think 36 of them said the biggest challenge they have for growing their garden is deer and keeping the critters out.

It was listed as Apple, one of Apple's top podcasts in 2019. So I'm really curious to check it out because it has to be more than just basic science and stuff. Like I don't know what it's about, but anyway, we're here to talk about what we can do to protect our gardens, that we work so hard to grow from the deer that are beautiful and lovely.

And I love to see deer in my yard. I just don't want to see them eating my flowers and vegetables.

There are graceful animals. We love them. It's a love, hate relationship rally, and there are beautiful from afar, but the minute they start eating our plants, AKA our hard work.
