If you’ve been reading for a while you probably know by now that the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is one of my favorite places on earth. Occasionally people will ask my why. The reason is simple, I learn something almost every time I go there.
Last weekend, while my son was planting his garden, I took the trumpeter tram with a friend of mine. While on the tram I learned many things, but the one I thought most readers would benefit from is a little trick the Arboretum does to protect young trees from deer browsing.
The best part is that it’s extremely simple. Four re-bar posts placed in a square around the tree. Check out the pictures for examples.
If you have problems with deer give it a try and let me know how it works!
