Denise and any other gardeners. . .Hi Jenn

[Guest guest]

Jenn,

oh, I am so sorry that the deer were so devastating! We don't have

deer that come on our property although they are around. We did put up

a small fence to keep the bunnies out (and our own pets)and that

really worked.

 

I can't think of what people do right now but there are lots of ideas.

I do remember one person saying that they planted a small garden just

for the deer. Another one mentioned hanging something from trees, but

I can't remember what. I am a member of organic homestead gardening

, although I haven't been there in ages. It really was too

much for me to keep up. But that might be a good place to check out

and ask your question.

 

I don't know if owning a dog makes a difference, either. Just the

scent might keep them at bay. If I think or find of other ideas I'll

email you directly.

 

cheers,

Denise

The deer (we live in the city, but we are next to a plot of land that

can't be hunted) hit us very hard. I was pretty mad since I did most

of the work this summer myself. And with two little ones and extra

part of the day, doing garden work was hard. Better luck next time.

By the way, does any of our gardeners have a deer safe repellient? I

obviously don't want something bad for the environment, but would like

to keep the pesky deer in the back where there is plenty to graze.

Just not my garden.
