How can I discourage deer from eating my Hostas?

I've used a spray scent deterrent from Home Depot called "Critter Ridder". Or there are a number of other scent deterrents available online.

Here's a link to some that you can make at home, too: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf/P... Scroll down to the second article, where there is a list of easy things to try.

Repel from Lowes in a b ottle..

I spray the corner plants of the flower bed
a plant or two
and it works for 2 weeks or more

you save by not spraying every plant...
Garlic and other things in it will not harm
your pets...

When it rains a whole lot, go back and do the same..
it works, as I feed wild deer here and water them
they never eat my perennials...

I've been using 'Milorganite' sprinkled on my Hibuscus and Hydrangeas however, if the deer are hungry enough I don't think anything will deter them as this photo shows. The closest one is near my tomatoes, the furthest one is grazing on my Hydrangeas which the day before I'd sprinkled Milorganite around.

Welcome to All Things Plants, @Wesgloworm ! Hosta are notoriously attractive to deer... depending on what other food is available for the deer, the suggested repellents may or may not work, I'm afraid.

Thanks for all of your suggestions!

Where I used to live I had alot of deer, I also fed the deer like Sheri does. I would also put out a salt lick on the far edge of my property and they never touched my hosta's.

I've recently had good luck hanging 'Irish Spring Soap' (original recipe) in my trees.
