[net.garden] Deer in garden

mmr@ritcv.UUCP (Margaret Reek) (07/17/85)

	I have been noticing that something was nibbling my swiss chard
and brocolli leaves, and have been sure it hasn't been bugs.  Yesterday
I noticed very distinct deer prints in the garden, going right through
the chard.  Any body got any ideas on how to discourage them?  Forget
an electric fence, that is going around the other garden to keep the coons
out of the corn.

Go to your hairdresser and get some human hair.  I am
told that it will keep the deer away.  When I got some,
they asked whether I had a deer a problem.  So it must be
common knowledge, however I have not tryed it.  I don't
have a deer problem until the fall.

I have been told that human male hair is much more repulsive to deer
than female hair.  I know that the male hair works around azalea gardens.
