Grandpa Brock built a deer
deterrent that works on exactly the same
principle as ours --- many thanks to his
grandson for pointing me in
the direction of the embedded youtube video. If you watch through
to the end, you'll notice that Grandpa Brock adds a pebble to the can
to mix up the sound a bit. We're coming to realize that minor
adjustments like this are enough to keep the deer on their toes and out
of the garden.
