Any tricks for keeping deer away from your plants? i had 4 on the edge of my property, 3 were eaten (completely chomped , as they were still very small) one is left, female i believe.
i want to keep this one alive! any tips for keeping the deer from getting to it?
ive heard of dog hair (i dont have a dog, but could try to get some hair)
i currently have a full 2L bottle of water laying beside the plant
they dont like human scents? so i sprayed some deoderant around and pissed

anything else?
thanks

Mine were attacked by wallabies, and various rodents, I put naphthalene in sandwich bags in a circle around them and they haven't come back, stuff has been there for 3 weeks and I can smell it it's really overpowering, can't remember who recommended it but he also said scented bars of soap work to.

Naphthalene (moth balls) work good and so does Irish Spring soap. I also have a little potion I make with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and a few drops of soap in hot tap water that I let soak overnight and strain. Then I put it into a sprayer bottle and spray all around my plants every time I'm there. The drop of soap helps make the mist even finer. Sometimes I'll even put a few drops of vinegar in too. It might seems crazy, but when you lose enough plants to deer, you're willing to experiment a little bit, haha.

If you look at liquid fence or most other commerical animal repellents, you'll notice their main ingredients are pepper, garlic, and putrified eggs. Got the pepper and garlic, but haven't really found a way to put rotten eggs into liquid form in a bottle.

Go to your local barber shop and ask for hair... give them whatever excuse you want for why you need it. Take the hair and place a bunch in a nylon stalking ... tie it to a tree branch close to your grow... a few of these and you will find the deer keep away. The scent of human hair will travel on the wind for a long way and keep the deer away.

Cheers,

I was at the hardware store the other day looking for this solution. I opted for some small disks that can be mounted around it, throwing out a "chameical scent that triggers the flight response" but I did see one that was essentially a motion activated sprinkler, you just have to hook it up to a water hose. I didn't go that route since piped water isn't available for my outdoor grow, but it might work for you if your grow is close to home.

I read that you take egg whites and add to your ingredients and let it sit in the sun for a few days to get potent.

Liquid Fence..... comes in a spray bottle and smells like dead ass. Don't spray it on your plant during flowering though. lightly spray the leaves during veg and the ground around it during flowering. No mammal that eats plants will come near your grow. Comes in a spray bottle like Windex and it ain't cheap but it works like nothing else. It's organic too, if that matters. Rotten eggs, garlic, and some other crap....
