  What is Deer Proof

We use "Chew Not" but it takes lots of work. It costs $60/gallon and must be sprayed on at first growth and cover new growth as soon as it appears. It leaves white specks and stays on even through heavy rains. It is labor intensive as it is thick and can clog a manual sprayer. So we use a blender, strain it, then pour into the sprayer. I leave it to the wife to keep up with this. If you leave new growth unprotected, the deer will eat the unprotected growth and leave the rest. If you look at the lillies in my pic, the only way we get these on display is by using Chew Not.

  What is Deer Proof

Hardwood, that is a tough one. Most of our gardens are in my pics 1,2,4,17 plus we spray a few plants for our neighbors. Maybe 2000-2500 square feet total after you figure that we only spray the soft leaf plants like lillies, hosta, rhododendrons etc. And we don't spray in inaccessible areas (behind steep stone walls, etc) or the alberta spruce or blue spruce. And my wife is very sparing with the hand sprayer. We use 1 - 1 1/2 gallons per year. You may need several gallons per year depending on how you spray the stuff on. I went to the web site and don't see any coverage data - probably because it varies so much.

I would say we apply it about 5 times per year. Once with first new growth, maybe a week later during fast growth, then every 2 weeks for 3 more applications. Once plants reach full growth you are done - it lasts the rest of the season. One thing to note - once you spray this stuff for a year or two you will notice that the deer will get "trained" to stay away from your gardens. But they will test every now and then. If you don't apply it when necessary and they happen to come by and test - you will lose your most recent uncoated areas of the plant - usually your flowers or fruit So Sad

You might want to try a gallon and see how it works for you first. Be aware that this stuff leaves tiny white dots on the leaves that give the leaves a whitish hue (strongest immediately after application).
