In Colorado Deer can also be a problem. I hate to break it to you but few
things have been consistently effective against deer. If you have them,
fencing is the only way. Human urine is rumored to be effective, as is human
hair. I've tried the hair (save it from hubby's shaving and put it in old
pantyhose and tie it to a tree) and the deer ate the tree. They also like
roses, despite the thorns. Don't be discouraged though, it may take you a few
years to figure out what works in your area but the right balance with your
surroundings will come up.
