What to Consider Before Planting Varieties of Hedges in your Garden

  One of the best ways to keep deer away from your garden is by planting hedges that they don't like to eat. Some deer-resistant hedges include boxwood, yarrow, lavender, rosemary, and thyme. You can also use fencing or other barriers around your garden to keep the deer out. For a more natural approach, you can also try scattering some spices or herbs like cayenne pepper, black pepper, or garlic around your plants. These will help to repel the deer without using any harsh chemicals.

  Many of us battle daily with large resident deer populations that love to devour our rose bushes, fruit trees, and generally our favorite and most prized plants. While some small things can be protected with deer resistant hedges, these defenses are simply not practical for protecting long hedges.
