Place four soup cans at all corners of your garden, pee in them. You
will not have deer problems again... Ian |

He certainly is serious, but it only works for a while. The deer eventually
realize there is no danger and return. I used this method for about a month last summer prior to installing an electric fence. BTW, urine on the ground does nothing, but male urine (Sorry, ladies!)  on an area such as a stumpor tree works. It's comparable to a wolf marking its territory, and the deer interpret it as a dangerous area.
