| Jim Fischer, of Leslie, sent this tip on how to prevent deer from rubbing their antlers on his grafted nut and persimmon trees. He ties a one-inch square of Lifebuoy soap in a four-inch square of cheesecloth. He then uses butcher's twine to tie the soap 18 to 24 inches above the ground. Late August is best, he says. Jim has been raising trees for 40 years on his 130 acres and says this works well for him. Several others have commented that this really does work, although they may use a different brand of soap! |
