As to soap in pantyhose with the rain we get here I could end up with a nice head of foam around the garden. The 4 legged creatures are welcome to about 3 of my 5 acres but I NEED my garden.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I have also heard that putting clumps of human hair in a garden keeps rodents away. Shrug. If it were me, I'd try to protect most of my garden... but leave some FOR the hungry quadrapeds! ===== <jenni I have heard that if you place pieces of dial bar soap into old panty hose and hang it on the plants or fence area, it will keep the deer away...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 YES!! another good idea... I think it has to do with having the human smell scattered about.. sort of like 'marking ' the territory! =) On Tuesday, June 28, 2005, at 12:03 PM, Jiraph Wirpel wrote: > > I have also heard that putting clumps of human hair in > a garden keeps rodents away.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Putting ferret poop in your yard is far more effective than human anything at repelling rodents.
