An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

This could be an old wives tale, anecdotal evidence, or some combination there of.... but my grandfather always told me to go out and urinate around the perimeter of the garden. Pick a different spot every night, starting with the heavily traveled areas and then branch out.
I've seen deer standing at the perimeter, but never past, and I've never lost a plant to deer.
Your mileage may vary.
Assert dominance! Mark your territory! 🦍
Some days I want to mark my territory with my 8mm Mauser. (Don't worry I don't do those kinds of things) But the thought does cross my mind when I see my "farm" eaten by those godless heathens.
That... or deer are prey species and any scent of humans sends them into a panic....but I like yours better lol means when I scare them off hunting it's my "dominant presence" and not that I smell bad lol
I have 3 dogs, (2 males), that lift their legs on the raise beds every day. It kind of works, but the deer also know they aren't much of threat either since I have them trained to not ever chase a deer.
Looking good! I had a small test harvest a couple weeks ago. Decided to let the rest go longer. Did some rescue harvesting yesterday due to flooding. Lost 2 to ants but none to rot, thankfully.
Ain't nowhere near harvesting anything yet. But that's life up Norf where we often get killing frosts into early June. We've had pretty consistent rains through June, but we are still in a drought condition here. But we haven't had any fire danger warns for a while either, occupational fun living in the middle of a forest.
We've had a relatively cool start to summer here that seems to have stunted some growth (and my planting), but I did harvest the first radish today 🙂
It's been very cool here also. We had a couple of nights with killing frost into the second week of June this year. We need some heat units to things to grow!
