Here's a recipe for deer repellent

I know living out here in R.M. we have a problem with deer eating our plants. In fact it is 2 p.m. Tuesday and we just took a picture of a buck with one antler eating our remaining agapanthus. He went to the neighbors' yard and started on theirs but when we came out he went across the street. I had read in a magazine that there was a foolproof deer repellent and have just sat for the last two hours going through all my magazines, still have eight to go, but found the
article. Will give you the ingredients and hope it works, it is too late for us!

Woman's Day, July 10
If deer are making al fresco meals of your summer shrubs, combine the ingredients in a blender and then mist liberally on plants. Since deer hate spicy flavors, the pungent brew will keep them far away from your garden. Reapply weekly or after it rains.

2 eggs
Water
Garlic powder
Tabasco sauce
Blend in blender and put in spray bottle

Don't know why they didn't give quantities, but the reason I said two eggs is that what shows in the picture. Bon appetit... Let me know if it works for you!
