Protect your garden and trees

I don't live in the midwest, but I have a problem with deer and other critters, so I decided to give this audiobook a listen. There is some discussion about prevention, but the bulk of this book is con planet options. I found the plant index helpful because deer don't like certain textures or gray-colored leaves. But, as the author points out, the animals will eat anything if they are hungry. I found the planet reference extremely helpful because each plant category is explained. The narrator does an excellent job at pronouncing each plant type. Many of these plants also grow where I live, which was a good reference. If you have a pest problem and need a comprehensive reference, then get this book and study it before the next planting season.

All the info you need

This is a really clearly written, detailed book. Everything in it is useful and you can put as much or as little into action as you want, I've already implemented a few of the tips and techniques and can see results! it's all you need if you have a deer problem in your garden. Even for those outside the Midwest. I'm in Canada in the East and i can still use most of the information. Highly recommended!
