Do-it-now-landscaping.com News: Critters in the Garden-and keeping them out!By Cindy Bellinger

Now that I've found deer tracks on the road near my garden and a rabbit running from my apricot tree that he'd obviously munched on, I'm more interested than ever in keeping these critters out of the garden. But we need to add gophers and moles to the list, too
Controlling Deer, Elk and RabbitsReaders write in saying the only prevention is a six to ten foot high fence. If that's not possible, then try selective plantings. Some plants have scented foliage with internal chemicals that naturally repel browsers. Then again, readers have reported that deer love their Daylilies, Gaillardia, Sunflowers, Hollyhocks and Echinacea.Last year a man wrote in saying, "They never touch Santolina, which is not on your list."Then another said he planted two Kolkwitzia (Beauty Bush) plants and the deer have ignored them along with the Woods roses, but they've sampled the Forsythia. A plant they ravaged is Burning Bush, a variety of Euonymous. "They stripped every leaf," he wrote. One product other readers swear by is Deer Off, which does exactly what it says-keeps the deer and rabbits off your plants. Given the overwhelming evidence, it looks like browsers will eat anything if hungry enough no matter what you do. However, here is a list of plants they aren't supposed to eat.
