Useful Tip – Deer Spray Repellent

For anyone experiencing damage in their gardens caused by deer try the following:

1 Cup Milk, 1 Egg, 1 tbsp Washing up Liquid, 1tbsp Vegetable Oil.  Shake all ingredients together and make up to a gallon with water.  Spray or water on to flowers.  Deer do not eat:-hardy geraniums, daffodils, nepeta, peony, herbs, agapanthus, alliums and buddleia.  'Some people add chilli or cayenne pepper also. At this time of year it is worth spraying or watering weekly and reapplying if it rains. The deer tend to take the same path each day so if you spray each week at the beginning of the season you change their path.'
