Hi Shedevils, Try putting down some shredded Irish Spring bar soap. You can shred them on a box grater or even in a food processor. Animals hate the smell and taste of the soap. Replenish after rain. I buy a big 12-pack every spring and shred them all at one time. I store it in a 5 gallon bucket with lid in my shed. It's the only thing that has ever worked for me. It does not affect your plants at all. Yay.
Use Irish Spring soap grind it and speed it around your garden, the fragrance bother them
Irish spring soap. I've had wonderful results with it
oryou could just put the deer in the freezer ;)
Dry blood
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!
