View Full Version : Dear deer pests

The deer are becoming a landscaping/gardening nuisance. In the fall they ate the pansies and now they are eating the rosebuds on the rosebushes. And my spouse is madder than he@@. I have heard about using hair and not had much success. Can anyone recommend a sure-fire way to keep the deer off some plants?

I love the deer, therefore I don't plant anything I deerly love, or that I think they "deerly" love. A natural habit for wildlife was left around my house in the country. It is lovely in appearance and very low maintenance.
