Hey! Another great site! I just scanned it quickly, but I saw Plant Delights on it. My sis works there! it is truly a cool place. If any of you are ever in the Raleigh area.... They have a catalog of stuff to die for and they do some classes and open houses.

Someone was asking about a deer repellent and I found this one interesting although I don't want my garden smelling like a public urinal...

Another deer repellent idea to try clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by Nandina 8b (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 01 at 13:35 I have been watching with great interest the extreme efforts a friend has made to repel deer. Nothing worked. She tried them all. Her problem is so severe that the deer climb ten steps onto the porch and attack her hanging baskets. This spring she was in K-Mart and spotted an inexpensive form of the blue Tidy Bowl gizmo that you hang in the toilet tank at about $.50 apiece. Desperate to solve her deer problem she bought a few and hung them in places she wished to protect. Deer damage stopped. Feeling brave she then planted a row of begonias along the front of the house and placed several of these blue toilet sanitizers just under the pine straw mulch. No deer damage to date after two months. Other nearby gardeners are now trialing her discovery with reported good results.

Locally Simpson timber company worked with Humboldt state to develop a egg+? mixture that worked but I have spent 40 minutes looking for it to no avail
