Deer and Elk Proof Garden Plants

The following is a list of garden plants that deer and elk usually won't graze upon. During times of drought or extreme hunger... our four legged friends will eat just about anything.

Here's a Deer and Elk repellant recipe that works if the critters aren't to hungry. Mix 1 chicken egg with 8 egg shells (1/2 shell) of water in a blender. Add cayenne pepper or Tabasco to season. Spray the solution on the plants you wish to protect. Rain will wash it off... so apply frequently.
