I planted some fine Hostas at my mountain country campsite. My husband would pee near the hostas and they grew really well. Then he died and the deer started eating them. I covered them with wire cages which helped some, but I think I will try to pee in a can and then sprinkle it around the hostas. I wonder if they would react differently to male versus female urine?
Interesting thought!
Certainly easier than asking a coyote or a mountain lion to contrbute to the cause.
Mr mm waters around the perimeter of the garden regularly and I think for the most part, it helps keep critters away.
I’ve heard male urine is more of a deterrent.
Supposedly, yes. When this community was new, every house had the same shrubberies from the developer, and we all tried so many things to save the arbor vitae-- various species' urine among them. And the word went around that male worked better. Personally, I replaced the arbor vitae.
I had some luck with coffee grounds sprinkled directly on the azaleas. Others used mashed garlic mixed with cigarette ashes.
