[Apple-Crop] Surround and deer?

[Dennis Norton]

We have been using a product called Repels-All for several years to 
great success.  It is available in a one gallon concentrate that makes 
up to 8 gallons.  After having read a "Study of the Effectiveness of 
Deer Repellents on the Eating Habits of White-tailed Deer" at 
http://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/young-naturalist-awards/winning-essays2/2013-winning-essays/a-study-of-the-effectiveness-of-deer-repellents-on-the-eating-habits-of-white-tailed-deer/ 
I noticed that the ingredients of Repels-All were the most effective at 
deterring deer.  It contains garlic, dried blood, whole egg solids, 
clove, fish oil, onion, wintergreen, with dried blood and whole egg 
solids (rotten eggs) being the better of the deterrents.  The granular 
packages of Repels-All have worked great for use in our sugar cube 
melons keeping the coons away!!
