Sleeping on the job is bad mogumbo

While distracted by other projects around the house and property, I slept on putting up the deer netting around the apple trees.  After all, the deer haven't paid any attention to the trees this year so they won't, right?

Wrong.

The majority of the under story for each productive apple tree has been decimated by the deer.  That includes both leaves and the half-dozen apples we had growing on them.

We inherited a lot of lengths of conduit from Wifey's grandmother (her grandparents are no longer gardening) with holes drilled in them around 6' down the length.  I've stuck them 4'-5' apart in a triangular formation around each tree.  I need to go get some wire from the hardware store to hold up the deer netting and see if I can protect the remaining fledgling leaf growth.
