Homemade Deer Repellent
4 beaten eggs, the
older the better.
Tip: buy on sale and store in garage.
2 gallons of water
1/3 cup liquid pepper
sauce, the hotter the better. (The mixture should have a pink/orange cast)
1/3 cup of Wilt-Pruf or
Wilt-Stop, found at Riverside Nursery. (The mixture should appear milky)
Mix all ingredients in
a 5 gallon bucket. Transfer to empty dish detergent squeeze bottles. Splash
directly on affected plants and around your property in early AM when it’s
cool. Use one time per week and after heavy rain during the growing season and
once a month during winter.
Smells at first, but
not when dry. The key is to use consistently, so that the deer will stay away.

"This place was amazing. Very well stocked. Fantastic selection of trees and shrubs, at reasonable prices (as well as ground cover, etc.) Most notably they had many trees that were much more mature than you would find at other garden centers. "
"This is a GREAT Nursery! They carry top quality plants and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable."
"Best nursery around and such an incredible selection of perennials. Quite impressive."
