Puget Sound area here - My local doe happily eats begonias, coreopsis, purple coneflower, monarda, annual and perennial salvias, shasta daisies, and wasabi and onions(!) Deer repellent helps, but the only thing that really works is a combination of a good dog and a tall fence. > On Nov 6, 2015, at 11:26 AM, Rick Buell <rredbbeard@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > Being the proverbial 'cheap old yankee', I checked out the ingredients on many animal repellents and found out a long time ago that egg is often on the list. So: mix 1 raw scrambled egg in 2 or 3 liters of rain water or other non-chlorinated water, wait 1 week, shaking the bottle daily, and voilà! Just a few drops on a cloth strip can be hung from a branch or laid near a pot, and any warm - blooded creature will leave it alone. It does have to be refreshed ~2x per week. The bottle can be capped bc, surprisingly, the mixture doesn't off-gas. > Unless you apply too much, human noses shouldn't be offended. > > Also, check out the Farmer's Almanac: > > http://almanac.com/blog/gardening-blog/… > > According to this site, the following plants are animal proof: > > "Deer steer clear of ageratum,begonias, chrysanthemums, columbines, coreopsis, cosmos,foxglove, iris, lavender, monarda, purple coneflower, rudbeckia, salvia, Shasta daisies, verbena, vinca, yarrow,zinnias.
