To keep your landscape beautiful and your garden healthy, you have to keep the deer away.

Step 1: Plant unappetizing flowers
Minimize damage from deer by growing plants that deer find unappealing, like salvia, allium, ajuga, boxwood, and campsis.

Tip
Avoid growing hostas, roses, impatiens, and tulips, which are plants deer favor.

Step 2: Place hair around garden
Place human or dog hair around your garden and trees to deter deer from munching on your landscape.

Step 3: Spray natural repellant
Spray a mixture of 1 gallon water and 3 teaspoons hot sauce on the flowers and plants you want the deer to stop feeding on.

Tip
If you have a dog, allow it to roam freely to discourage deer from approaching.

Step 4: Install lights
Install motion detector lights, which will startle deer and scare them away.

Step 5: Install a fence
Install a fence around areas you do not want deer to invade.
