  What deere do not like to eat

Another thought: Stop by your local dog groomer and get a bag of dog hair mix it in with the mulch. It is suspose to work. But I can not say for certain.

One more on that note is My dad use to stop at the barber shop and pick up a bag or two of Human hair from the days trimmings. He would then put it in Moms old knee high stockings and tie them to the lower branches of our apple and pear trees in the fall. It actually worked well, I think primarily because it was the smell of different people all the time. He refreshed it about once every two weeks. I am sure mixing in the mulch, or spreading around under the flowers would work as well.

  What deere do not like to eat

Being a second generation landscaper I can tell you that, quite honestly, short of metal, plastic or concrete the hungry white tail deer will eat just about anything that grows including those shrubs, grasses, small trees, and flowers that are touted as being deer "resistant." Despite trying all of the remedies listed by all who responded, the only limited success I've had has been through the systematic application of either Bobex or bobcat/mountain lion yearn.

Works for a while, but if it rains, the half ton rabbits are back at it over night. The most effective method of keeping deer from the plants are tall fences (over six feet), deer netting, shotgun (12 ga), rifle (.223 up), and M1 Abrams tank (preferably driven over the deer).

I designed and built a Zen Garden for a client using an Acer palmatum dissectum (Japanese lace leaf maple) of specimen size costing seven thousand dollars. While most deer eschew the Jap maples, one chewed it-right down to the trunk. Nothing is sacred to these pests!
