Worry No More About
Deer Eating Your Garden
It is Spring time once again and that means getting the garden out
and preparing for those fresh vegetables you have been waiting for
all winter long. Planting the garden is something I look
forward to all year long, but one thing I have come to hate is those
beautiful 4 legged creatures that fill up on my fresh plants.
I am sure you know who I am talking about, deer. I remember
when I first put my garden out all the neighbors tried to warn me
about the deer and said all that work was just going to go towards
feeding the deer. One of the few things that worked for me
that year to keep the garden out was a german shepherd pet. We
had him on an invisible fence and worked for our first year of
gardening. He continued to break the fence and so we had to
get rid of him. I planted my garden
the following year and sure enough here come the deer. I did
my research on the internet and tried all of the home remedies for
ridding my garden of these deer. Yes, I did go to the barber
shop and get all the hair from the day and put it in my
garden. This did not stop these things from continuing to
feast on my garden. So, I decided that this year I was not
going to put up with them eating my fresh produce. I started
looking into an electric fence. After researching, I had a
fear of my child and the children of the neighborhood getting into
the fence and looking like a science project that I decided against
this. Plus, the more I researched the more the cost was and
sometimes deer will leap right over electric fences. I did not
want to invest a lot of money in something that might not
work. I was about to buy a product on Amazon.com when I
stumbled onto the
Contech Scarecrow Motion-Activated
Sprinkler . I began to read
the reviews and with so many people saying this thing worked I
decided to step out on a limb and order it. The cost was in my
price range for my garden and I thought this was something to take a
risk with. I ordered it. I waited for the scarecrow to
arrive before I planted my garden. I got the garden planted
and installed the scarecrow. It was an easy setup. It is
still early in the season, but I am so confident this thing
works. Deer are creatures of habit and once you get them once
they will develop a new habit. When I try to sneak up on this
motion activated sprinkler it goes off with force every time.
The stronger the water pressure the more impressive this thing
is. You can set the sensitivity on this to even pick up those
pesky birds. It has so far kept the deer and the toddlers out
of the garden. This is a cheap product and for those who are
tired of seeing their fresh vegetables go to feeding the wildlife
then this is your solution. Check out the reviews for yourself
on
Amazon .
