Deer eat my garden every year. HELP

Hi Kathy, I had the same problem with squirrels feasting on my tomatoes. You can spread out some shredded Irish Spring bar soap in your garden. You can shred the bars of soap on a box grater or even in a food processor. Verments hate the smell and the taste of the soap and will look for food somewhere else. Depending on the size of your garden, spread out enough to make an inch or two of soap. More around the perimeter. This method has worked for me. I hope it works for you too. p.s. The soap will not affect the taste of your veggies.

Thank you for the idea. We tried the soap. Nope...they snacked on what was left. Even my butterfly bush ;(

Yes, it is true that deer will eat everything in your yard that you are hoping they don't!

Although some people may have had success with various other schemes of putting deterents out in the yard, the most sure-proof way that I know of, from personal experience, is to build a high fence around your garden area. I have seen deer jump over a 6ft high fence from a stand-still position, so the fence would have to be at least this high.

Blend up some irish spring soap to keep them out of your garden

Deer turn their noses up at fragrant plants with strong scents. Sages, ornamental salvias, and lavender, daffodils, garlic, annual vinca, marigolds, coneflowers

Use a vegetable peeler on the bar of Irish Spring soap and scatter shavings around plants and bushes. There's a product called Bobbex that works really well if you have something you want to protect though!

I read this from Gma Kirk: A farmer gave me a gross recipe for repellent...but it works. cup or two of urine, tablespoons of crushed garlic, and cayenne pepper, two eggs in a gallon jug, shake well, fill rest of the way with water. Cap and let age a week. Then you drizzle small stream around the perimeter of whatever you want to keep them from eating - works on rabbits too!
