DARN DEER!

MORE ADVENTURES OF LIVING IN THE WOODS! I am ready to throw up my hands and just pour green cement instead of having plants and a garden! The doggone deer have eaten my hosteas TO THE GROUND!---as if that is not enough they now are walking into the lower garden and eating ALL the leaves off the potato vines, pulling up select plants & eating the others completely up!

I KNOW what you are thinking---but NO I actually like BAMBI and have no intentions of shooting a deer---BUT I am not happy with plants that I got on my hands and knees to plant that have been totally eaten up.

Pappaw Conville told me that I just needed to get some human hair that has not been washed and spread it all around. WHO might cut hair that they don't wash first? He told me it needs to have the "stink of humans" on it. THAT'S DISGUSTING!

Anyway--I am thinking about planting stink weed---down side of that I get to enjoy the STINK too!

The girl that cuts my hair has bagged up hair for people for that very reason!! Sounds pretty disgusting to me...

you and my mother should get together because she is upset about the same thing. she even sent me a picture of deer enjoying her hostas. and i've heard the same thing about human hair but not sure if it works.

My uncle john uses that Bobex stuff for roses, but I was having the same problem with the deer eating our azaleas. I sprayed our azaleas with it (it smells really bad!) and we haven't had any more problems.
