Hi there!
I just wanted to share a success against the rampaging deer in my yard and back field.
Someone, somewhere here recommended Deer Stopper (not to be confused with Deer Stop).

I picked it up and dilute it, 1 : 9. I don't like hose end sprayers because my property is way too large and you waste so much. I just use a sprayer at first.
My first application started when buds started to pup and hosta stuck up their little pointy noses.

I've moved to a squirt bottle now, because I've kept up on spraying any new growth. I walk around with my coffee and squirt anything new.

It guarantees working for 100 days, and last year, it did. Once 100 days passed, the deer started chewing. So my plan is to continue to walk around squirting new things until fall or I die. Which ever comes first.

Anyway, I missed some hollyhock's new growth, and one heuchera's flower stalks. They were immediately decimated. That's my lesson. The thing is, you can't use too much, thank goodness.

I wanted to show you pictures. The first is a close-up of a deer print (the big hole) in my raised garden bed. Next to it you can see large heuchera and a potted hosta. Notice they're fine?

Then, here's a long shot of a bed with about 30 hosta as many heuchera and 7 Japanese maples in it:

What you can't see is my "pot ghetto" behind me, that has 45 or so potted Japanese maples, which are doing well. Despite a late April, HARD frost, they're recovering and deer resistant -- as long as I spray! :)

For the record, I've tried all the soap, Hing powder, hair, cassette tape, etc, "Natural" is fine, which this product is. "Cheap" and "Free" were wasting my time and plants.

Deer Stopper is not cheap, but in the face of my investment and the gallons I get out of it? It's a very small price to pay when I'm walking around the gardens in the beautiful mornings, anyway.

I thought others might like this info. Good luck!
