Deer hate powdered lime.

Frickin deer done hit my pole bean leaves twice. They were putting out new leaves and got stripped again. Got deer repellent all over hte garden now, as well as mint spray on the beans. Couple days, a little rain, and high temps and they're leaving out again. Whole garden was behind, but they're really putting a lag on the beans. Should be getting my first picking by now.

Did get my first squash though. Everything else is doing pretty good now. The cool & wet spring has finally relesed it's hold on the garden. Only took till mid-June.

So does that just go around as a border? I'll be needing to protect the melons too as they get close to ripe.

I use peletized lime. An over application of powdered lime can burn plants.

My dad lightly dust the leaves.

Hang up fly traps with the yellow powder in them. Just add water and they smell like rotten eggs. Keeps deer away and catches alot of flies. Just planted beans and okra again last week, also tomatoes.

I have done that also. Besides peeing in the shower I would pee in a jug and pour it around the border of garden.

I keep a pump up sprayer in the back yard.

Gonna succession palnt a row of pole beans in with hte others next day or two to make sure I get enough. One side is recovering nicely. Other side is lagging. Hopefully with the good garden weather just arriving around here last couple weeks. it will do fine and come on quickly.

Haven't thought of that. Maybe instead of running to bathroom at 3:00 in the morning, I run out to garden. Expecially after having Asparagus.

I look at deer repellent at the lawn and garden center. Ingredients were pee and water. I thought “well he’ll, I can make that at home “

If I could stay awake until after true dark, I’d be peeing around the borders of my garden, marking my territory.
