Tricks of the Trade in addition to the planting techniques explained above, there are a number of non-pesticide options for organic pest elimination.
Human or dog hair spread round the garden and hung from tree limbs acts as a good pest repellent, as do bars of soap hung from shepherds hooks or laid right in the soil. Deer don’t like the hint of rotting eggs, so a mix of nine eggs with two. Five gallons of water sprayed on acre of crop will deter deer from entering the area, but the solution is watered down enough to avoid vexing humans. Deer have a tendency to be twitchy and scared animals and can be shocked off by vexing wind activated garden fixtures, plastic foil tape, scarecrows and whirligigs. Those that make noise, such squeaking, fluttering, or tinkling, work best. You’ll have to move this stuff around and revolve selection to keep the deer from getting use to them. Dogs are also an excellent source to keep watch over the garden and help scare off unwished-for wildlife diners. Tall fences ( nine to ten feet high ) planted firmly in the ground are the easiest way to keep deer out of the plant garden. An cheap chicken-wire fence at least twenty-four inches high is usually enough to keep those annoying rabbits out of your garden. Or a solution of cayenne pepper spray on the plants after a rain will infrequently deter rabbits from chewing.
