A guide to damage limitation.

The author's own garden was sacrificed as a trial area to test various methods for deterring deer and also to determine which were their preferred and least preferred plants. This truly unique book offers great advice for the distraught gardener whose domain has been invaded.

Extracts of letters from the many participants involved in the study are included, which describe individual problems as well as some of the solutions. These letters are full of warmth and humour, characteristics also belonging to many gardeners. This is not a staid study of the subject but a delightful book brimming with excellent advice.
