to move into the woods behind our house because the deer were eating everything. I heard that some people were getting lion and tiger poo from the zoo to spread in the garden to scare them off, but then your garden would smell like a giant litter box. About the only thing that ever worked for us was an electric fence.

My mom and dad live in Albuquerque and they have a flock of peacocks that escaped pens years ago and now roam the neighborhood, crowing crazily and eating all my mom's flowers. She has to figure out the few they don't like.

I suggest lantana, if it will grow in your climate



Deer don’t like it much 😉

I tried coyote urine. My former husband "marked" our driveway every evening. We've always had dogs. Nothing worked until we put up seven feet high plastic mesh around about one acre of our seven acres. A buck broke through once and this spring, because of some downed trees, a doe was able to leap, very elegantly, over the fencing.

Good luck.

I'm not an experienced gardener, but the previous owners of this place seemed to know what deer will avoid. I put in roses - but deer will eat the flower heads right off of rose bushes.. Lesson learned.

I've got a nice bed of lamb's ear, which deer won't touch. I'd prefer hosta, but they'd gobble that right down to the dirt. Deer tend to ignore butterfly bush and pachysandra.

Even ate my rhododendrons last winter. Only thing they leave alone are the foxglove and hellebores and daffodils . I feel your pain! Good luck!

I also allow some white snakeroot to grow. That's a native and poisonous to them and they know it.

But snakeroot will take over, if you let it. Unless ....

I made the mistake of allowing giant goldenrod - native but insanely aggressive - to grow in an area. Oops.

How I wish the deer liked goldenrod.

1. Shave small pieces of Irish Spring soap bar around the perimeter.
2. Little gross but works. Collect your pee and sprinkle around the perimeter.

and I love animals. All that time and money for them to take my flowers down to the stalks.

Yeah, we have given up on tulips but they don't seem to eat the daffodils, iris, orange lillies, allium, and chives.

I was going about 75 on 64 West near Afton Mountain. It came bolting out of the forestry median script. I swerved a bit right it tried to turn to its left. It busted the glass out of my drivers side mirror. It also left a long streak of deer snot on my door and window. No blood. I couldn’t see in my rear view mirror so it must’ve gotten up.

I called the Stare Police immediately and filed a claim with Geico shortly after.

I got a replacement mirror yesterday. I had no idea how much I used that mirror.

Egg and garlic spray with neem oil
