We'll see if this arrangement works to deprive the deer of the asparagus. There is bird netting draped down the frame. It doesn't show in the first photo, so I include the second to reveal it. Each side of bird net drape is stapled to a 1x2 stick that snags on the lip of the raised bed when a "probing proboscis" presses against the netting, but easily lifts over the top of the frame to allow the gardener access. I'll see if this proves effective before I do the other beds.

Great idea!If it doesn't work you might want to consider a commercial deer repellent. Companies such as Bird-X, Inc. offer pretty effective products that are both safe for the deer and the environment. So it won't kill them, just make them not like your asparagus.
