Default Help- deer and hostas

Help, the deer mucned my 2 huge hostas plants down to the ground. They aslo
ate my annuals.


So, last night they stripped some nice sunflowers I had down to two
raw sticks. Gonna order a half dozen hay bales tomorrow for a new
archery range to get them back. I suppose you don't have the Disney
syndrome anymore, do you?

Anytime a new neighbor down the road moves in and I walk by and see
exposed hostas planted around the mailbox, I just have to laugh. I've
got some very nice hostas, and they flower every year, mixed with the
tulips...but they are surrounded by chicken wire which deer wont go
near, since they could get their hoof stuck and break a leg.

Bone meal and blood meal spread around the yard will also help keep
deer on edge in your yard.
