Start Saving your egg shells. Deer HATE them!

An old friend who's been growing for 40 years laughed his ass off at me when i told him my last years crop was eaten by deer. I set several steel traps and actually got one of the fuckers leg broke.. but it was a small deer which made me feel bad when i had to put it down after laying there for a few days with a broken back leg. (she tasted good)

He told me that the best way is to save eggshells and crunch them up, and sprinkle them all around ur plot. or at the base of each plant if you grow one plant every other yard or so. Deer hate the smell of egg shells. im gonna try it this year. i had some success doing that with a late crop i attempted to finish outdoors. it worked. no deer. same area.

try it out. and send me some feed back.

human nair works as well or just plain old shampoo, anything with a fragrance

+rep for new ideas

I haven't tried this yet but i'm going to. Sprinkling PEPPER around your plants apparently keeps pretty much everything away.

does it still work if theres no deers lol? im high
thats a great thing to do though thanks

I was going to give you props, never heard of the eggshell repellent. Then I read you set traps for deer? Why the fluck would you do that? All they wanted was food, so you broke ones leg and let is suffer for a couple days. Lame man, really lame.


I hope a deer sets a bear trap for you.....

Eggshells are actually pretty ineffective. Get yourself a half dozen bars of Irish Spring soap. Get out your pockets knife and start whittling the soap all around your plot. Works wonders........

I treid Ivy soap, moth balls, cat dog an my shit an piss, fox urine, neem oil, putrid egg deer repellant all failed.

I have to guerilla grow in cages here or its hopless.

egg shells are really benificial to a plants growth, never heard of using them to ward of deer, once heard of a guy that used pubic hair, so i guess its not that odd

Karma says you shall not reap a harvest this year either.

Not one gram.

wow you guys are hardcore i've seen supposed "hunters" around here do alot worse, also anytime a dam or aquaduct is built it kills off thousands of deer in the area and other wildlife so maybe you guys should focus the hate on the government for ignoring wildlife studies and fudging numbers on dead wildlife from river projects...

No one should be without bud if desired. I take that statement back.

you sure? need a lot of it, where the fuck was he getting it from?

To the OP (original poster) .... I'm just curious if you are a cash crop kinda guy or maybe some kinda illness, or maybe just a late night toker?

pulverized eggshells and oyster shells add calcium to the soil, but they take time to break down. I've always heard that human urine, and flakes of soap bars ward most away./. Maybe the deer around you have adapted to humans. which sucks. in my veggie garden i use eggshells and bloodmeal as amendments, which ive found deter animals.

eggshells work good for adding calcium to your soil.... donno about deer though...
