Rant against deer

[SheFly]

I broke down and got some Deer Off to spray on our azaleas, euonymous, day lillies, tulips, sedum, hosta, and all the other deer candy in our yard. Seems to work great. Didn't think they would eat peaches off a tree, so I didn't spray it (I think this stuff is rated safe for food crops).

Hopefully, the azaleas will rebound and flower next spring.

I used some of this as well. Problem is, that when it rains, I need to respray, and I sometimes forget...

My B-I-L is a barber - apparently human hair will keep them away. He saves it for people who come into the barbershop for that very purpose.

Robyn - sorry to hear about your hubby's deer encounter, and so close to home .

I tried hair. I think the deer ate it!
I've found the Deer Off lasts through one or two light rains. 3 weeks without rain (like, um, now!) . It also seems to last longer than my homemade conconction of Tabasco, garlic, dish soap, and Hing (a really nasty smelling Indian herb in powder form that my neighbor recommended).
