Anybody have suggestions to keep deer from eating shrubbery? We've had no trouble whatsoever until a month or so ago when something ate our pretty shrubs right down to the ground. These are planted up against the front porch and while deer roam our property like they own it, they've never bothered anything until now.
My dad heard that mint repels deer and other animals, so he gave us a huge batch. I've planted it in two long boxes and it's doing great. I'm thinking of splitting it up into many separate deep pots and setting the pots among the shrubs. (Don't want to plant it in the ground, as mint will spread like crazy.) Have any of you heard that mint works as a repellent?
I'm open to any suggestions! As soon as the bushes start to get new leaves and shoots, something comes along and eats them (eats, shoots, and leaves...sounds vaguely familiar). Help!
