| I did it! I went to the Family Dollar in town, bought an economy-size pack of 7 bars of Irish Spring, gave 3 to my sister for her veggie/herb garden that's been under attack from Bambi & friends & I cut up the remaining pieces & scattered them around my Hosta garden that was being demolished by the little snots. So, I guess I just have to wait & see now... Everyone on the Hosta forum swears by it, so... |

| The problem is the sent dissipate rather fast so you have to keep adding shaving every few days. |

| Ptilda, I tried the IS for a while this spring to protect a small Azalea and gave it up. The opossum kept chewing the soap and taking it away from the planting so the deer finally trimmed it to the nubbins. I used a trail camera to find the culprits. At least the camera showed lots of night visitors I hadn't known. |

I never had any luck with IS either. A homemade concoction worked best for me. the typical hot sauce, garlic, egg,and etc. Lots of recipes online. I am thinking of trying the milorganite next yr.
