Deer Repellants Don't Work - How Can You Keep Deer From Eating Your Plants?

It can be a real challenge to keep deer from eating the plants in your garden. As a rose grower, I hear the horror stories about deer chewing young roses down to nearly the crown - but growers of veggies and other ornamentals don't have it any better! In this video I'll discuss some of the classic approaches to stopping deer from damaging your garden plants: deer repellants, perimeter fencing and planting deer-resistant varieties. I wish I had a better option, and as always, if you have some techniques to share I'd sure like to hear about it in the comments.

Here's the Garden Fundamentals (Robert Pavlis) video on low fencing: https://youtu.be/igyXcblysjU and here's the one I mentioned from Farmer Dre: https://youtu.be/S1f5rdJJp_0
