    I find a 410 shotgun will do the job and provide you with a good meal as well.

    Marigolds planted outside the garden or around the garden will prevent rabbits and smaller rodents from eating your plants. Besides, marigolds are quite ornamental.

    I have also found that reflective tin pie plates with holes punched in them to let the wind blow through works great for deer. Tie the tin plants to twine that has been roped around your garden. The tin plates blowing in the wind distract the deer....kinda works like a scarecrow!

    I was told by an expert with plants to put Human Hair round the Trees / plants . When they smell it they go away, I have the same problem !

    I am in the process of trying it.

    Mix in a cup of hot sauce in a quart of water. Sprinkle the water on the plants. You might have to repeat when it rains or weekly.

    You might have to wash the leaves of the herbs before you use them.
