I’ll be planting LOTS of perennial flower seedlings this fall and winter in our Hurricane Michael-ravaged area.
Question . . . what is the best deer repellent? No bunnies, just deer.
Rented beer.
Firearms.
12-foot fences topped with concertina wire, patrolling Dobermans and a 24/7 manned machine gun turret.
We’re a helpful lot, aren’t we? :)
What sort of flowers will you be growing?
My zone isn’t too terribly different from yours. Just wondering what would be happy here.
I’m scared to try perennials, they’re spendy and I’m afraid I’d just kill them with heat/humidity/idiocy.
Blood meal?
We have had luck with over spraying the plants with mixture of lemon dish soap and hot sauce mixed in a hose end sprayer. Really. Just spray the plants and the ground around them. The smell deters nibblers and if they really want to have a taste of a hosta, the hot sauce residue stops them from taking that second bite. You have to reapply after it rains and washes the potion away. I have also just sprinkled ground cayenne pepper on a couple of lone plants that the deer like and once the take one bite, they remember not to snack in my garden!
