Hey 'Heads, Visited my neighbor's back yard yesterday to take them some nice Gypsy plants I found. They have a small wooden fence up around the garden to keep out the small furries (stop it Rael), but this year they also put up taller posts with yellow rope to try to keep the deer from leaning over the wooden fence and munching away. Normal enough, I suppose... The odd thing was the Irish Spring bars, enclosed in sections of nylon hose, hanging off the rope in five or eight places. The neighbor's wife said that she had heard twice last week, (from two different people, no less!) that it works to repel deer. Has anyone ever heard of this?!?!?!? Can I take a nice Irish Spring bath, then roll around in the garden to produce the same effect, or will the only effect be my needing another bath. ;-))) Not that I care, really, since I have a fence that seems to work well... -- Erich C-H # 2099 & First Lieutenant of the Moderate Corps
