I am looking for used tree cones or tubes to protect new planted seedlings from deer browsing. I understand plastic forestry cones can be reused and wonder if anyone has a source or a lead on where to find any? Alternatively, if anyone has advice on an economical (ideally less than $1 per unit) product that will serve the purpose of protecting 1500 seedlings from deer browsing in the first year or two after planting, I'd be grateful to hear it.
Thanks very much!
