Since I am taking the garden by the roots this year, I am trying to do a lot of research about pests. Well, I should say that I haven't been very proactive until now. This week I found aphids on my squash (gross!) and that brought to memory the many pests we have had in our gardens of years past. And not just bugs! We're talking squirrels, rabbits, even cats. The list goes on.
Thankfully, we have a little urban garden so we don't see many deer, but they can be a real problem for many gardeners. When our garden got poached last year of ALL its tomatoes I was heartbroken. Growing those plants was hard work! I like that Havahart® has created a deer repellent that can save your garden by deterring deer in a humane way.
When I was asked to write this post, I immediately checked to see if the product could be used with organic gardening and the answer is yes! I am not a strict organic gardener, but I also want to avoid chemicals as much as possible. Deer Off is OMRI listed and safe to use all over your garden and yard. It has a battery operated sprayer and seems pretty easy to use, which would be really handy with a large yard.
Don't get me wrong, I love the wildlife. I just don't want it in my garden and potentially bringing disease and pestilence along for the ride. Have you had to deal with deer eating your crops? What did you do to stop them? Have more questions? You can learn about deer control by clicking the link.
Every morning as I back out of my driveway, there are at least six deer grazing in my yard. I love deer but I don't want to get lyme disease and I don't want them eating every living plant in my yard. I was thrilled to see this post. Thanks a bunch!!!! I want to try this.
