What can I use to keep deer (adorable as they are!) from eating my flowers and veggies? I know that we always

planted marigolds to keep insects away from veggies, but does that also work for deer? Only humane solutions, please! And thank you in advance.

You can go to your local hunting shop (I think even Wal-Mart carries this) and pick up some coyote urine scent. Place it around your yard; this will deter the deer from coming so close that they will eat your plants. I have also heard that you can put cut human hair (from a salon) around your plants to deter them. I've used the urine scent before and it worked for me. Best of luck!
Reply:The funnest one I have seen is the motion sensing sprinkler. When a deer or stray dog or would-be-burglar come into your yard, the motion sensing sprinkler turns on and scares them off by making noise and getting them wet...check out the link below...
Reply:Ask your hairstylist if you can have the hair he or she sweeps up, and scatter it around the perimeter. It works for every gardener I know!
Reply:Save all the hair from your brushes and hang it throughout your garden the human scent will repel them. Also-look up Jerry Baker and his books-the best for non lethal help
Reply:I've heard both marigolds as well as dryer sheets, read on....
Reply:Our dog keeps the deer away. Borrow one from a friend if you don't have one. All it takes is a couple of weeks and they will not come back.
Reply:people i know put sticks in the ground by the sides of the gardens, and then attach them with strings, and put those pie tin things on the strings, so they make noise when the wind blows... that usually seems to work....
Reply:People who grow marijuana usually pee all around them. The hair thing should work too.
Reply:You should use dirty diapers.
Reply:Fences, good luck
