Without hurting the deer, how to keep them out of a garden?

Jan Leann asked:
For those with experience at keeping deer out of your garden, without hurting them or building a 20 ft. high fence, what remedies have you found that work at keeping them out? I have found a site with lots of repellent recipes and have been reading about repellents to buy. I don’t think I want a sonic controller and I do plant a few things they don’t eat, but I need something safe I can spray on the other plants or something that will keep them out of the yard all together.

Safe and inexpensive……..
Sprinkle baby powder on you plants. When the deer munch on your garden this will dry their mouths, after a few visits they will seek other munch ables. This also keeps rabbits away. Also you could try spreading some moth balls around in the garden. If you have pets or kids, put them inside the shrubs or under the mulch. Human hair will work until the scent dissipates.
