Hi! My mom planted hostas in her garden, but unfortunately they have been eaten by deer. Does anyone know any good deer repellents that will not harm the plants? Iā€™m open to other suggestions also.

    My parents put chicken wire around their hosta and day lily garden. Not very pretty to look at though. I donā€™t think theyā€™ve tried any repellents for some reason. But the common one at my local garden center is Bonide ā€œGo Away.ā€ And the outdoor sporting goods stores have coyote urine, but buyer beware on the smell of that one wheweeee šŸ¤¢šŸ˜‚

    I would suggest planting deer resistant plants around the hostas as a way of naturally keeping them away. I found it works for my garden!

      this is a great tip. my dad has a vegetable garden thatā€™s a bit more than half an acre, and thereā€™s always a border of squash and other gourds to keep the deer out of the tender leafed vegetables. itā€™s been working well for him the past 10 years in combination with a 6ft chain link fence. (easily jump-able for a deer but they usually donā€™t want to land in a pumpkin patch lol)

    Irish Spring soap works. You have to reapply after it rains.
