Peanut butter fence FENCING Techniques 14-6-29 Are you having a hard time keeping deer out of your garden? Then it's time you discovered one of the little-known virtues of pea-nut butter. Wildlife ecologists at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated that a single strand of charged wire smeared with peanut butter creates a virtually deer-proof fence.
