Deer can be cute when you’re on a nature walk, but they can be a nuisance and ravage your garden if you live in the country. Here’s a cheap and easy homemade deer repellent recipe that will keep them away without hurting them!
We live in the country and the deer just have a grand time eating my garden. We don’t have the money to fence it all in right now and I sure won’t pay a huge amount for “organic” deer repellent.
There are many different recipes for this but many are just some form of these basic ingredients. Some have hot pepper in them. I don’t recommend using hot pepper for any kind of animal repellent because it can get in their eyes and not knowing any better can rub them and in some cases this will cause them to go blind.
Here are 2 easy deer repellent recipes you can use at home that are safe and most of all cheap!

Fall Garden
This year I am putting in a fall garden. Since we are trying to sell our house, I didn’t put in a vegetable garden this year and I put all the plants I wanted to take with me into containers. I think when we move I’m going to have a truck load of just plants! This is just a few of them. 🙂

It was over 100 degrees for more than 2 weeks and now it has finally cooled down and feels WONDERFUL!
I got inspired and decided to get my fall garden started. It’s supposed to be in the 100s again later this week so I hope they won’t all burn up but I’m going to give it a try!
Last night I planted:
radishes
lettuce
spinach
cilantro
I was going to grow some snow peas, but the season here stays hot too long, so I decided to wait on those and try them next year when we are (hopefully) in Colorado. If you love fresh salads, nows the time to get these seeds in the ground!
