I hope I do not offend anyone that sells a deer deterrent but I’m always happy and willing to help others. The deer deterrent consist of 3 eggs, 3 table spoons of milk, couple of spoons of garlic and onion powder, couple of spoons of cayenne pepper powder, and a cup of water. I mix this in a blender and then pour into a gallon jug. Then I fill with water. This mixture will clog a sprayer so I just punch a few holes in a gallon jug lid and apply from the gallon jug. It’s cheap and works for me very well. You will need to reapply after a heavy rain though.

I see what you are saying. I enjoy reading one’s thoughts on a subject. Thanks for the info.

[Buck]

That’s what I gathered from asking around. Let it compose well and everyone seems to be ok putting it around most plants. Thanks.

I checked on small manure spreaders and was shocked at the price. For our gardens I wouldn’t need one but for the pasture, I could see where one would come in handy.

Oh’ Bluesky63, I like your profile pic. I keep bees too and often just sit watching them come in while thinking problems through.

I have some 2×4 wire fencing left from my horse pasture. I thought about using it. Only problem is I have watched numerous times deer jumping over it graciously without any effort. It is 4’ high with a tensile above it. I guess after seeing the damage from yesterday evening I have cooled off some. I was ready to start putting deer in the freezer then.

[Buck]

Count me in. I’m willing to participate.

A friend was telling me the same thing. He knew a guy that had problems with deer and built a double fence and this year they didn’t bother anything.

[Buck]

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I had thought about something getting tangled. Definitely don’t want that to happen. That’s why I was asking here if anyone had any experience with it. Looks like it may be hit or miss if they are determined.

[Buck]

Friends mentón y’all and found you on YouTube. Located in Eton, Ga. I would take the tumbler with some seeds added.

[Buck]

Good information. Thanks.

I have heard the same thing from others regarding seeds this year. My son and I were lucky. Everything we planted came up good except the Indian corn. I bought those seeds at Lowes so I didn’t expect much. My brother works at a seed store and has said their seeds have been hit or miss if they can even get what they want. A friend couldn’t find bell pepper plants this year. I had four trays I raised so I gave half of mine to him.

[Buck]

That was kinda my thoughts too. I will be pulling the plants up in a couple of months. Did not want to discard this one if something unique was going on. Definitely will be saving seed from this plant and see if the same thing happens again next year.

[Buck]

They do have their paths they take but we see them interning our property just about anywhere they wish to jump the fence. Last year some gave birth just a few hundred feet away from one of the garden spots. We had 2 fawns running around for about a month and half until they could jump the fence and graze with the others. I’m afraid I would be installing a lot of lights.

[Buck]

I haven’t had any problems with any other critters but I’m sure it would work for anything that doesn’t like the taste of pepper/ garlic/onion.

[Buck]

The double fence or 3D fence seems like the route I’ll take. I have since sprayed a pepper juice I make as a deer deterrent and they have left what is left alone.
