Deer Eating Flowers

You can put two together back to back so the colorful sides face out. They spin in the wind and reflect light, look nice and they scare the deer away. You need to hang them every 10 feet or so depending on how persistent your deer are.

Spread this around the perimiter of your garden. It will keep the dead away!

It worked very well to keep the deer away from my newly sprouting tulips. However, this year when I noticed a few tips of the leaves missing on my tulips, I hung new Irish Spring soap in the trees. The deer ate all my tulip buds anyhow, and I had planted about 100. They left three intact. I think I will try the egg receipe next!

Easy and simple and works. We have deer all around the acreage we live on and walking through my landscaping is a "treat" for them.

We have always just thrown our egg shells in our vegetable garden and they have left it alone. If you have a very bad problem, mix a few raw eggs with some water and spray it on your flowers, reapplying after every rain, but we have never had to do that. The shells (I'm talking quite a few, now) even kept them out of sweet corn...and deer love sweet corn almost as much as we do!! Plus, there is an added benefit of the egg shells in your soil as a mulch and broken shells are supposed to keep slugs from getting to your plants because the shells hurt them as they try to crawl over them. Hope this helps.

INSTRUCTIONS: Put all ingredents in blender and puree. Allow to set 2 days, then pour or spray it around all the plants you need to protect Reapply it every week or so (or after a rain) to keep the odor fresh, and deer will head for friendlier territory. This is an exact quote from Jerry Baker's book "Terrific Garden Tonics - 345 Do-It-Yourself, Fix'em Formulas for Maintaining a Lush Lawn & Gorgeous Garden". This book is worth so much more than I paid for it. It really works, deer used to eat my daylilies. No more. Good Luck. Deer can't stand the smell of eggs in general.

Bad as it may sound to some, human urine keeps deer from coming close. Report Spam or Abuse
