Keeping Deer Out Of Your Garden - Making Gardening Easier

Oh, those darling little “Bambi’s”. I quickly get over the “Bambi Syndrome” when I see the deer eating up my plans for my garden. It only takes a few Deer stalking to destroy your garden.. I put many hours of striving to keep them out of my garden.

So, what can be done to keep the deer out of your garden? There are a number of plants that you can pull out and put in your garden to keep the deer from eating up your hard work.

I found a formula after years of trying different commercial products and trying to keep the deer out of my garden. This formula works, but only works for a season. Do not use it if your soil is already broken up by frost or you plan to plant in the fall. For use on established gardens use at a bare minimum of twice a year.

Directions for making the formula can be found on the packaging. Most hardware stores have a gardening center so you may want to go pick up a soil test kit there and do a soil analysis. Usually the soil in a new garden is quite full of grubs and the grubs will eat up nitrogen. What I will do is put bag traps out in the fall to capture as many grubs as I can. I will then spread a light coating of grub control on the soil and hand it back out in the spring.

Happy Gardening!
