     it won't keep deer from finding and eating other   
   plants.  it doesn't deter them.  some young deer will   
   still sample onions and garlic or any other plant we   
   grow here even if it is reputedly deer repellent or   
   resistant or not attractive to deer.  the young ones   
   don't know better...

     fences help us here, but not everything is fenced so   
   we do get deer going through here at times and eating   
   anything they can find that they like.  until i can get   
   a full enclosed fence put up they'll be around.  i just   
   try to make it not so easy for them...
