The cheapest alternative may be spreading milorganite. It repels deer via scent. When the scent wears off, they'll be back. I wouldn't trust this to work better than a fence, but if you planted hemp, you don't need to keep them off very long to allow the hemp to establish.

I've also recently heard that a few rows of strong fishing line around the garden will detour them.....kinda like us walking into a spider web. I read that too. It might be particularly effective if used like to two row fence design.

I might try hanging some ribbon from it to mark it. If it's totally unseen, the first deer to bump into it may tear it to pieces. If you hang ribbon from it, they may be smart enough to recognize something is there and stay away from it.
