Natural Deer Repellent Recipe


(Courtesy of Carol Cupp, High Desert Gardening Club)
In the spring as soon as the buds start coming out use this spray weekly. The deer won't touch the roses.  But in the fall quit spraying and the deer come in and do the trimming for you.
                         
                    Mix in a blender:
            1 cup water
            3 eggs
            1/3 cup tabasco sauce
            1/3 cup liquid dishwashing soap
 
                    Pour into a gallon sprayer and fill with water.
               Spray thoroughly once a week.
 
 
            You can also add a cube of beef bouillon but you may not need it. Recommend you wear gloves and goggles when spraying because the tabasco sauce can be painful.
