DEER PROOF GARDEN
=================

• DEER "RESISTANT" PLANTS: Deer may try to eat almost anything, if desperate enough. But the plants shown in this video have held up very well for me!

• IRISH SPRING SOAP: Placing it around sensitive plants can confuse & discourage deer from browsing. Place it in early Spring when young tender shoots emerge.

• SPRAY DETERRENTS: Sprays may last up to 30 days before reapplying. If a plant sends out new growth, you may need to respray. Seems to work, but stinks for a couple days. Spraying edible plants is not advised.

• DEER FENCING: Typically needs to be 6 to 10 feet tall. But it can be shorter if positioned strategically. A solid fence can't be seen thru, which stops deer from seeing where to land. Placing plants or objects in front of or behind, can make it impractical for them to jump. Double fences may work.


===============
RABBIT PROOFING
===============

• RAISED BEDS: Elevated garden planters can keep rabbits out of reach, protecting sensitive crops like lettuce.

• RABBIT FENCING: The best solution is to completely exclude them from your garden. Galvanized wire mesh holds up for a long time. A mesh size of 1" or smaller works great. You need an impassible barrier at least 24" tall, up to 36" for jackrabbits. Be sure to fold a 6" lip outward onto the ground to stop them from digging under the fence.

• TREE TRUNK PROTECTION: Wrapping wire mesh around the tree trunk will stop rabbit or other rodents from gnawing on the bark and girdling the plant.

================
SQUIRREL CONTROL
================

• HARDWARE CLOTH: Squirrels love digging at the base of plants & burying nuts. Laying wire mesh at the base of a plant will protect the roots from being dug up. For large areas, you can also try plastic netting to discourage this behavior.

===============
BIRD PROTECTION
===============

• WHITE / YELLOW / GREEN FRUITS: Birds are drawn to deep colors telling them a fruit or berry is ripe. Blueberries, red cherries & blackberries are all bird magnets. Some cultivars may trick birds into leaving them alone. Pink blueberries, white pineberries, yellow cherries, golden raspberries & hardy kiwis may survive, unnoticed.

• BIRD NETTING: Using netting is the best way to keep birds off of your fruits & berries. A maximum 3/4" mesh size will ensure even small birds can't get thru. But the netting must be suspended above the plants to stop birds from perching on the net & reaching inside with their beaks. Either build a cage or try steaks to create a tent. Be sure the netting is tightly anchored to the ground to stop them from crawling underneath.

====================
NUISANCE CATS & DOGS
====================

• DOGS: Neighborhood dogs should be leashed. But when dog owners walk their pets, they may pee or poo on your property. Owners are required to clean up after their dogs, but not all of them do. The best solution to stop dogs from wanting to go on your property. Raised landscape beds with ornamental fencing will keep most dogs on the sidewalk. Removing the grass lining your sidewalk can also remove any temptation for dogs to use your lawn as a bathroom!

• CATS: Cats are often more mobile than dogs. Cat owners may let the animal freely roam the neighborhood. They can help out with rodent control. But they may treat your freshly emptied garden bed as a litter box. I simply place plastic netting over the bed surface, which prevents cats from digging into the dirt, removing invitation for them to ruin your bed.
