I have tried in the past suggestions that did NOT work like: hanging Ivory soap near the veggies; putting human hair around the veggies; and making a mild solution of Tabasco and water and spraying it on the veggies, which, unfortunately, wilted some of the tomato leaves and yellow flowers
Last year, they left my flowers alone that were wildflowers (and won lots of compliments as they turned out gorgeous--all from a $.59 pack of wildflowers), but had a field day with my moss rose when they were abundant. Moss rose must be a really delightful yummy thing to deer as they even pulled them up from the roots...grrrr. Needless to say, the moss rose were ruined, and I was p.o.'d.
Believe me, it's war now with those deer; so, I am open to suggestions as to what does work. Any ideas out there? This is an upscale neighborhood, so I can't shoot them; but, they are aggressive and roam around at night foraging for food, hence, vegetables and soft petal flowers are prone to be chomped on for deer dinner. Help!
