I use a large sprayer and alternate between Liquid Fence and Repellsall.
I spray every 2-3 weeks duering the bloom season.
We dont have the herds that some gardeners deal with but budded DL's going nude overnight bothers me.
I leave any liquid in the sprayer for the next application.

Here is what I have found out.
Liquid fence stays fluid in the spray container and can be used until the sprayer is empty.
Repellsall forms a scum that cloggs the sprayer hose and nozzel and needs to be emptied after each time spraying.I just dont mix as much Repellsall at application time.

I alternate products because the deer become familier with one and eat at will. If I change oders they stay away.

Just something I found out ,thought I would pass it along.
