Tomato Pests & Diseases

Ah!!! Deer!

17 years ago

My poor, poor tomatoes... The deer came and ate one of them right down to the first branch. They ate another one right down to the flowers. Thanks for leaving me the flowers and a few leaves on that one at least... I know there isn't much that can be done, but I just needed to vent!

As gross as this may sound it works for me. Use your own urine to spread around the perimeter of your plants. Re-apply after each rain or once a week to ward off deer and other plant eating 4-legged critters. This works esp well if you have a neighbor that also gardens but Doesn't use urine ;o)
