For anyone who has trouble with deer digging up things through the snow here is a trick I tried last year that seemed to work very well. Deer dig through the snow for 3 things in my yard; green grass which doesn\'t really hurt anything, Hostas which again don\'t seem to be bothered by the intrusion, and succulents which if they eat what\'s above the soil line, nothing comes back. I read somewhere that putting down chicken wire deters them because their feet gets tangled up in it. So I tried covering all my hardy succulents with chicken wire before snow last year and they never touched a thing.
