What is eating my plants and how do i stop it?
Comments (1)Even though the attack is spotty, it's probably deer. Nothing else would eat a whole perennial like that (rabbits are too short). BTW, cuts from rabbit teeth are sharp and clean as if they were made with pruners. Deer cuts tend to be ragged since they pull and don't cut clean. I suggest spraying with a good repellent--Deer Off, Liquid Fence, Plantskydd, and try to concentrate on plants deer don't like. Strongly aromatic plants are not only unappealing, but also have some repellent value as the scent jams deer's predator defensese, their sense of smell. Such plants include Agastaches, Perovskia, Nepetas, Calaminthas, Geranium maccrorhizum as well as 'Bikovo', 'Karmina' et. al (but not other Geraniums). Growing plants that they really like, like Phlox, is asking for trouble. Now that they're in the restaurant, it's only a matter of time before someone tries the other items on the buffet....See MoreWhat is eating my plants and how do I stop it?
Comments (4)With a few exceptions, it's often hard to identify the right bug by the damage they do and correctly give you an action to take. Best would be to go out at night with a flashlight and take a look when they are feeding. You may have to make more than one trip after dark, but trust me, you can be very surprised in the activity after dark in your garden. There's 'stuff' in my own I never dreamed was there, and no wonder the slug deterrents I'd put out weren't helping when I had climbing cutworms :) Let us know.......See MoreHow to stop zoysia from creeping into my planting bed?

Comments (1)Here are four suggestions for getting your cat to stop eating your houseplants. 1. Cover the plant with an unappealing surface. Wrap the plant in tin foil or a plastic carpet protector with the knobby side up. Your cat might not want to walk across an unpleasant surface to reach your plants. 2. Select Plants Cats Despise. Some plants are simply not suitable for cats. 3. Spray the Leaves of Your Plant. 4. Plants should be strategically placed....See Moremuddeprived
