A friend back in Connecticut had a vegetable garden surrounded by an electric fence. When the corn was nearly ripe they would hear shrieking in the night. Turned out that the raccoon would sit outside the fence and scream, nerving himself up to swarm over the fence. Once inside he would eat the corn. Then scream his way back out again. Turkeys, ungainly as they look, do fly. They even spend the night roosting up in trees.

Or three wires on a Y-shaped structure so that climbing raccoons would have to touch it in order to overcome the wall. I am very fond of electric fencing as it has no side effects and consumes very little energy. But it needs some maintenance like removal of fallen branches or weeds touching the wires. > > I have no idea for turkey, do they fly into your garden? > > Bye for now > > Uli > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
