I'll take some of those acorns off your hands next year, ecnalg, greenthumb and ssg, so that I don't have to buy so many bags of peanuts!
I've mentioned it many times, but for ssg and others who might need it, this is a really great deer repellent that sticks to plants longer than any commercial product I've tried: blend 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 egg yolk and 1 quart water. Put in a spray bottle and spray away, focusing on leaves at browsing height and tasty buds. Store in fridge if you don't want it to smell.
The baking powder is the deterrent, not the egg (ever taste baking powder?), so it doesn't smell after it's sprayed on the plant. I have used it on many shrubs and perennials, both on leaves and flower buds. The only plant it seems to have damaged was Mistflower; the leaves got a little brown and crinkly.
