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!
