"You don't have to respray after each rain"
I just want to tell you about my experience with using Plantskydd®
on my irises and roses. Last August I replanted my entire iris garden
- 350 varieties. The last time I did that 4 years ago, deer came in and
pulled up over 70 newly planted varieties, scattering labels and rhizome
all over the beds.
Last year, after a reforestation project, we had a bag of
Plantskydd® deer repellant left. I spoke with a Plantskydd® representative
and he stated that, while no research on using the product on irises was
available, I could test it on my irises and recommended that I use it
at half strength, I did so, and although I saw some evidence of deer in
the bed before applying Plantskydd®, there was NO further evidence
of deer visiting my iris garden. None at all. I had some extra Plantskydd®
left and sprayed about 40 rose bushes and had only two nibbles and then
they were also left alone. I was finally able to enjoy my roses. What
a bonus. This year I'll be trying Plantskydd® on hostas and other
tasty-to-deer perennials. Perhaps I won't be raising a deer salad bar
any longer.
While Plantskydd® seems expensive at the outset,
one advantage I really like is that you don't have to respray after each
rain. I've recommended it to so many people and have told them to
be on the lookout for a product that really works. Thanks Plantskydd®
people.
