Are there Herbs that will deter Deer from the garden?

Any guy named Herb who owns a shotgun.

On a serious note try hanging bars of Irish Spring around your garden.
I've been doing it for a couple of years but I can't really make a
statement about it's efficacy because I don't get that many deer. I got
the idea from the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park
in Vermont, they were using it around their gardens.

I can make a statement, it didn't work at all MJ

Have you tried predator urine? I've been using Fox and Coyote urine to
keep away groundhogs and raccoons away, it seems to have worked. Once
again I can't make a scientific statement but the theory behind predator
urine seems a little better then the theory behind Irish Spring.
