Re: CULT. heat ! and DEER

Hi,

At our local True Value I found a product to send the deer away.  I spay it
on the ground around the tomatoes, Iris and such.  Not on the plants.  I do
this very early and the deer don't like it.  Then I spray again in 6 weeks
or so and they just stay away for the season.  No, I can't tell you the
name.  It was in the garage.  Need I say more.  I will go over to the True
Value tomorrow and give you the name then.
