Do not apply fertilizer to fescue or orchardgrass pastures after April until August. This is the time of the year when deer are eating our lush gardens, ornamentals, and field crops. The use of soap is probably the easiest method. Hang small bars of soap, using 20 lb test fishing line, from branches. Hang one bar per shrub, several per tree and replace monthly.
Aromatic soaps are the most effective.
Do not use the putrefied egg solid products on vegetables, fruits or plant parts to be eaten. Follow label instructions carefully when using these products. Fencing requires an electric or hightensile wire fence. But the fence must be properly maintained. Discharging firearms within city or town limits is illegal.
