Deer/Garden Problems? - Old Bay - 06-14-2013

Plant large Rosemary bushes around your garden. Deer hate rosemary. I thought someone on the thread had that problem. It also tastes good with venison! Advice from Alton Brown.

Well our deer didn't like rosemary, which we had planted all over, but they would go amongst it and pick what they did like!

The only deterent we ever found that worked was a 6' fence around the garden and vineyard. We figured if they could jump that for food, they were darn hungry and were welcome to it.

Thanks, Bill, that would be worth trying. I did have a rosemary bush last year. Not sure if it made a difference or not since it wasn't that big. We put up a fence and hang bars of soap all around the garden. That seems to work pretty well.

I make Derek go outside and pee around my deer fence

That only works on all varieties of "wolves".
Nothing would mess with Derek.

That is what Roy misses about being a city boy now.
