The question I'm asked most often is: How do you keep deer from eating your plants?

In this video I'm showing what methods work for me, what I use and what I think about the new and expensive backpack sprayer I bought this year.

Homemade deer repellent recipe (also available here: https://www.theimpatientgardener.com/...)

Homemade deer repellent

4 eggs
1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
A couple drops of dishwashing detergent (to help it stick to leaves)
Whole garlic cloves, crushed or smashed (I probably throw 6 in but just put in whatever you have)

Put all the ingredients in a rinsed out gallon milk jug and fill the rest with water. Shake thoroughly. Then set it out in the sun for a few days. You want it to get good and nasty. After it has “fermented” a bit, dilute it about 4:1 and sprinkle it all over everything.
