Ways to protect your garden from hungry animals

GARDNER. I am AVA MARIE. I am here with KERRY ENGLE OF VALLEYVIEW FARMS. HEY THIS IS JUST A STUNNING GARDEN. BUT THERE ARE MEALS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. There are WORMS. THERE FOUR LEGS, HIGH GAS. REALLY? SUPPORT ME. THESE DEER ARE ALL ALIVE. AND RABBIT TO RABBIT, TOO. You have it. SO YOU WANT TO PROTECT WHAT YOU INVESTED IN, BUT YOU STILL WANT THE GOOD ONE. I AM? So the network works so well. WITH THESE CIRCLES. Yes, I saw TESI. HOW TO LANDSCAPING BEDS. THE PEOPLE CAN DO THIS IN THEIR BACKYARD. THEY CAN. AND IF YOU SAY IF YOU HAVE VEGETABLES GROWING IN YOUR YARD, UH, YOU CAN USE THEM FOR THAT. MAYBE THE RABBIT LIKES YOUR LETTUCE OR THE BIRD IS GOING TO EATEN YOUR STRAWBERRIES WHEN THEY COME. Yes. THE BEST PART YOU CAN SEE THROUGH. STILL GIVE YOUR LOOK. IS IT. BUT MAYBE YOU HAVE PLANTS THAT ARE JUST TYPES HERE AND THERE. SO WE ALWAYS TALK TO THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PLANTING DEER-RESISTANT PLANTS, BUT I DON’T KNOW THAT HOSTA. AND WE ARE IN THE SHADOW. SO I PLANT HOST AND JUST USE ONE OF THESE. SO THERE ARE PRODUCTS. IF YOU WANT I DON’T WANT TO DO THAT THING THAT IS REALLY IN PLACE. I KNOW WHAT TYPES OF PRODUCTS ARE USEFUL. SO I, I LIKE THE DEER STOPPER PRODUCTS. THESIS HAS A GRASS BASIS. So they don’t stink. THEM REALLY SMELL WHEN YOU PUT THEM OUT THERE. BOB. REALLY. BECAUSE THESE ARE THESE I KNOW THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY REPEL ANIMALS. REPEL ALL OF US. UH, BOB, I’M GOING TO SAY NORMALLY WHEN I SPRAY THE FIRST DAY, I PICK THAT. NOT TOO MANY, TOO MUCH. THEY ALSO BRING ONE JUST FOR ROSES, BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE PAY SO MANY BEAUTIFUL ROSES JUST TO MAKE A DEER SAFE. SO, UM, JUST DIFFERENT THINGS, DIFFERENT TACTICS. You can use it to watch the deer. AND GO TO SAY THESE ALMOST LIKE TRAINING MONKEYS. I feel like once I spray it for a couple of years, you have to use it every 30 days. THE RAIN DOESN’T AFFECT, BUT EVERY 30 DAYS. BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS THEY LOOKED MORE LIKE MY NEIGHBORS. OH I SEE YOU GOT THE HIT. I’m like, okay, I know to avoid that. OK. GOOD TO KNOW. BOTH THESE 30 DAYS, EVERY 30 DAYS EITHER RAINING OR NOT. THAT’S HOW LONG THE PRODUCT LAST. Yes. SO I WANT TO SAY THESE WHEELS ARE GREAT. YOU CAN USE THESE IN PLACES WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS LIKE A ROW OF LETTUCE IN A ROW OF STRAWBERRIES AND YOU PUT THAT BIRD NET THAT’S GOING TO BE LARGE TO KEEP ALL THESE KIND OF SAFE. And what I like about it is that I forget it’s there. YOU DON’T. DO YOU REALLY SEE IT? YOU REALLY DON’T SEE. SEE THE FLOWERS AND SAY CAN THIS ALSO SERVE FOR PROTECTION FROM THE COLD? Yes. So we are in that time, where maybe we put a few tender things and we need to cover them. WE HAVE A PRODUCT CALLED HARVEST GUARD THAT YOU CAN PUT ON. OR IF YOU HAVE SOME OLD AND COVERED LANGUAGES, YOU CAN KIND OF DO THE SAME THING. BUT THE HOOPS ARE GOING TO KEEP UP OFF THE PLANTS. AND YOU CAN IN THIS CASE, I DON’T SAY USUALLY USE PLASTIC, BUT YOU CAN SO YOU HAVE AIR MOVING THROVER AND THAT CAN KEEP OFF THE PLANT. Yes. AND HE HEARD HER FROM THERE IN THE MORNING WHEN THEY WERE GETTING UP. GOOD TO KNOW THE OPTIONS TO KEEP ANIMALS OR TO KEEP ANIMALS, I MUST SAY, AWAY FROM YOUR GARDEN PRICE. EXACTLY. KEEP YOUR PLANTS PRETTY. Yes, I like it. OK. TEA
