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 .
