Deer Repellents, as the Seasons Change

At this time of year, the dietary habits of your hungry deer are beginning to change. For winter, they move away from grasses and green stuff toward woodier plants, like trees and shrubs.
It’s a good time of year to respray these kinds of plants with deer repellents. Many of these commercial sprays have cold-temperature restrictions (read the label), so take advantage of this great weather to do it today or tomorrow.
Here’s a new comment on a blog post on deer repellents from the folks at deer-departed.com:
“At deer-departed.com we are trying to provide the most information possible to help people control the deer in their landscape. We have over 21 deer repellent recipes you can make yourself.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
