just have some real close to the house in big pots. Doesn't work here. The deer have actually walked up onto our porch (up four steps, onto a porch which is only 6 feet wide and runs along the front of the house) and eaten flowers out of the planters on the porch rail.

If I have just a few, I can be faithful about coyote urine. Been tried, doesn't work. NOTHING we have tried works. No commercial deer repellant. Not mothballs in stockings hung on fence. Not rubber snakes. You name it, people out here have tried it. Our local Agricultural Extension Agent has given up, an his advice now is fences are the only thing that works. Period. Either you have a fence or you have no vegetables, no flowers, no shrubs except grass and the native salal and wild roses and blackberries and brambles which the deer feed off of but which have adapted to recover from it. Basically, no garden, just lawn or wilderness. To me, no garden means no civilization. The discovery of cultivation was a critical step forward in human evolution. I ain't goin' back to the hunter-gatherer days. At least not without a fight!
