You're so pretty you lovely deer 🦌

But would you kindly QUIT EATING MY APPLE TREES. 😤

Planted 4 apple trees last few weeks and they're eating the limbs right off them. LOL.

Apparently they don't like the following smells, so maybe rubbing some of these on the trees will keep them away.

Marigolds, putrescent egg solids, mint, wolf urine, tansy, garlic, thyme, oregano, sage, rosemary, and lavender.

A lavender essential oil might be the best choice and certainly safer than trying to extract wolf urine 😆

@Whodunnit think I'll try the oil..wolf urine is a little more effort than I want to put into this lol

@Bexsy If it's anything like fox urine you'd be keeping away from the trees too, lol

@Whodunnit I’ve tried them all. They still chowed down on everything

Whodunnit · M

@stratosranger Oh... damn

stratosranger · M

Yeah. They get hungry enough, especially in winter? They’ll still eat it @Whodunnit

Whodunnit · M

@stratosranger That makes sense I guess. I'll certainly eat anything if I'm hungry enough 😁

@Whodunnit Rosemary works well if it will grow there. I have my yard and garden surrounded with the bushes, along with other fresh herbs.

@Bexsy Have you considered a scarecrow? Lol

Bexsy

@Indieoriginal i do have rosemary but not next to the trees. Might have to plant some next year

Bexsy

@Whodunnit 🤣i have one! Ok, so it's a cute fall one..
But it's a scarecrow

Whodunnit · M

@Bexsy They'll probably eat it 😆
