Spring is finally in full tilt and all my gardens are growing nicely! The peas are shooting out of the ground, the green beans are sending up their fat, little shoots and my tulips are bursting forth in all the colors of the rainbow. And, of course, the deer are coming by each night to visit my garden. And I don't think they are here to admire the view – they are looking for a little moonlight buffet. I'm seriously about ready to sit out all night because I'm not about to give up my veggies so early in the year. But now i don't have to pull a night-watch because I've found the perfect, organic deer repellent! – Deer Off

When I pulled into the long drive leading to my son's new home in Mississippi, the first thing I noticed were three pairs of eyes reflected in the headlights. The local deer were already checking out the new landscaping and conducting taste tests! It didn't take long to discover the deer approved of the new ornamental trees and flowers. Clearly a plan was needed to allow enjoyment of the wildlife while also protecting landscape plants from becoming a daily smorgasbord for the area's deer population.
