I have no knowledge about turning the earth other than what I've gleamed from the internet, a substantial resource to say the least. I've been told that I'll lose 50% of my garden to the local pets- Deers.

Everyone states there is nothing you can do.This site at Rutgers U. list a number of plants which are deer resistance. http://njaes.rutgers.edu/deerresistance/
Then an old pisano told me to save my piss and go to a barber shop ask them for the hair trimmings; then spread it around the perimeter it will keep the deer away.
I get the marking concept, but was wondering if there were other helpful suggestion that were organic and as effective?
Don't have your answer, but Nancy has a 25x40 ft garden which I fenced. Works well. We have a ton of deer, and have never found a good way to (chemically) deter them.
