Below a few ways to keep deer out of your garden.

Use a foul tasting sprays to keep them a way. You spray the leaves of flowers, trees, and shrubs and it will keep deer and other browsing animals away. Use the spray at the start of the season, it will work on garden plants for up to three months but won’t leave a residue or wash off. Just makes sure you don’t use it on edible crops, you won’t like the taste either.

Deer are great at the high jump but have trouble judging distance. Knowing this will allow you to build an unobtrusive fence around your garden that will actually do a better job of keeping Bambi out then a large expensive fence. Snow fencing or heavy gauge green fencing will work nicely. The fence only needs to be about two and a half feet high. You put two rows around the outdoor plants with about three feet in between. Because deer can’t judge distance when jumping they will move on to an easier yard.

Use little bouquet garni string bags to hang peelings of Irish Spring or other heavily perfumed soap around the perimeter of the garden. The deer really resent the strong odor of these soaps and
will steer clear of the areas where they are hanging. You will need to replace the soaps after a heavy rain.

There are a lot of predatory scents being marketed for ways to keep deer out of your yards. Animals like mountain lions, wolf, and coyote urine are available at a hefty price commercially, but you can
get the same effect for free by having a human mark the perimeter of the garden. It sounds a bit off color but it definitely does the trick. When it comes to those lushes daylilies or rhododendrons
sometimes you need to forget the modesty and get the results.

Put more aromatic plants in your landscape design. Yarrow, lavender, and santolina are just a few of the flowering plants you can add to your garden to send deer bounding off to your neighbors yard. Deer also hate plants with hairy leaves.
