Ok, let us talk for a minute about deer and rabbits. (I know this is a bit off subject but go with me here.) This spring I decided to plant a garden. I was looking forward to juicy tomatoes, crisp greens, and fresh beans and peppers among other things.
Yesterday, however, I went out to check on my beloved garden and found that my entire row of black eyed peas had been eaten!!!! I could see where the plants had been, they all looked like little stubs sticking out of the ground! Needless to say I was very upset. Here I had tilled, and weeded and tended this garden and what do I get in return? I called my grandmother and everyone else I knew and got numerous responses as to how to keep rabbits and deer OUT of my garden.
- Pee around your garden (believe it or not this was one of the top answers I got!! Apparently there's something about the scent.)
- Tie grocery bags around your garden - the noise when the breeze blows them scares away all pests.
- Sprinkle human hair (like from the barber shop) around the outside of your garden.
- Mix one tablespoon Tabasco with one gallon of water and pour around the outside of your garden.
Does anyone have any more ideas on how to keep rabbits and deer away from the garden?
