Lucy that's a bad word in my book...DEER
Deer have been a huge problem for me the past few years now that I'm planting more flowers and veggies around the yard. Trying hard to do Deer resistant type plants in front yard and other types in backyard. Currently installing heavy gauge 7.5ft tall deer netting around the entire backyard on 10ft pipes spaced 8 ft apart and cemented into the ground. While the construction project is being worked on to install the netting, I'm making huge batches of raw egg, garlic, cloves, cayenne or using up some of my Thai Hot peppers blended with water. I spray all the areas where the Deer can get in. I'm, desperately trying to get Raspberries this year which the Deer love. I've placed homemade stocking nets with whole cloves and whole garlic cloves throughout the patch. Haven't seen any deer damage since I've been doing this for the past 3 weeks. My veggie garden is also surrounded by deer netting (not the heavy gauge) but it's getting old and starting to deteriorate. Can't wait til the day I can take it down and just have a basic wire fence around it.
I'm so tired of Trees and bushes looking like Lollipops or flowers that bloomed in the morning gone when I get home from work and not to mention all the Deer poop.
