Deer!!

Obviously a man with a "green" thumb.

 

i did do that last night...no not on the plants but near em. I don't know if it was that or the pans but they didn't get in there last night.

 

You can try deodorant soap shavings and hair, but they won't work long either. If you're in an area with lots of deer or rabbits you're going to need a fence. I tried everything and my garden always became an all-you-can-eat critter buffet until I fenced it in.

 

That does not work. My friend snored loud enough to wake the neighbors and he awoke one morning to a buck ripping his screen off his window and snorting up a storm. I don't think the buck liked being woken up by his snoring.

 

I've only used a rabbit fence. Put mothballs in mesh and hung em around the fence. Worked all of last year and up till this week. This year i added Irish Spring soap cause i heard about it on the Andre Viette show.
Do you have a 6ft fence? or is it 8ft they can jump over? I don't want anything permanent right now. I just take down the rabbit fence at the end of the season and my brother tills it all up with his tractor.
Can't really spend the dough on a fence right now, so repellants and scare tactics is the best i got.

 

I have heard that you can put plastic mesh netting to cover them and it keeps the deer out. A woman I know did that to protect her strawberry and rasberry plants and hasn't had a single problem so far this year.

 

that's a thought...i wonder how big they are? I have 53 tomatoe plants. I'll have to check that out.

 

Yep, google it, several sites with different tips on how to do it.

 

I went to tru value yesterday and found some...pretty expensive.
