RE: Dealing with animals in gardens

**"Venice Williams" v*@msn.com**

Hello to all,

I work with community gardens in urban Milwaukee (Wisconsin).  We don't
have to worry about deer, but to keep the small animals out we border our
gardens with thick layers of nasturtiums and marigolds of many sizes and
varieties.  We even let the nasturtium vine run throughout the garden
with the squash and cucumbers in some of the gardens.

However, the best thing I have found to prevent both insects and small
animals is a 100% pure garlic oil called Garlic Pharm manufactured in
Port Townsend, Washington (info@pharmsolutionsinc.com).  I only spray it
twice a season, even though the bottle tells you to spray more often.

Happy Gardening!

Venice, Milwaukee

  Here in Duluth, Minnesota, deer and rabbits are huge
  problems in community gardens. A number of gardeners
  have fenced in their plots in various ways. Fencing
  has been done on an individual basis rather than on a
  garden basis, mainly because of cost and differing
  levels of concern about the "problem". We'd love to
  know how other gardens have addressed animal issues,
  especially if any have found non-fence solutions or
  deterrents to animals.
