Deer Flags:

I read about this somewhere a while back and finally got around to trying it.

As you may know, deer signal danger to one another by raising their tails. So what the other deer sees is an isosceles triangle with the short side at the bottom.

To make a “poor man’s deer fence” simpply make a bunch of these triangles from white or beige fabric and hang a string of them where you want to scare the deer.

I used two parallel lines of string, but I am currently converting them over to shepherds crook hangers that I bought at the Dollar Store just because I want to be able to easily remove them when I am having company, since the set-up is not too attractive.

Anyway, I am happy to say that I actually have full grown hosta this year for the first time in 6 years!

I hope this works for you.
