Hi, I live in rural VT. am disabled, but not enough to keep me away
from the garden. I don't have a large patch, maybe 20 feet wide and 60
feet long. I have been using the fishing line method,(to keep deer
away) and at the end of last year, "Irish Spring" sprinkled around
plants. Last nite, they got into the only lined off area I had,(most
likly a fawn) didn't nibble though, tomatoe plants and herbs, but it's
been raining and squash, beans etc will be poppin' this week. For the
$ of a commercial repellant, I can buy enough fresh veggies and fruit
at the farmers down the road, maybe some eggs and turkeys too! Any
home home remedy's would be great!
Thank You very much
Bobby

Thanks everyone for your help...Pam, I also have a dog however, funny
laws here, if he get caught chasin' a deer, he could be shot, however,
if my crops were big enough, I could shoot the deer. But, I can't stay
awake that long, and the dog wouldn't hurt a mouse, literally, he's a
border collie/lab mix, too playful!! I'm going with double fishing
line and Irish spring. Did a test last nite, found footprints in
wildflowers but not veggies!
