A big fence is the only way. If you want to try pepper you can get ground
dried Habanero peppers from http://www.redsavina.com/ . I would be
concerned that the pepper would carry over to the vegetable themselves. I
have tried most everything and have yet to find anything that will always
work except the fence. Take that back, I haven't tried the motion detector
water sprinklers nor the electric fence. Good luck.

I want to start a vegetable garden but I live in deer country near
Dripping Springs. I read in the archives that homemade pepper sprays
work well to repel deer. I also know they don't like rosemary and
other fragrant shrubs. Any opinions on how well it would work to hedge
the entire garden with rosemary and other large shrubs?

thanks,
