The Kitchen Item That Helps Keep Deer From Destroying Your Garden
By MARCO ROSSI
Using aluminum foil is an incredibly handy way of protecting young or small trees and shrubs from getting eaten by deer before they have a chance to mature.
The color can also spook them since the foil is reflective. If the sun catches it and it throws light, the deer might interpret it as dangerous and steer clear.
Wrap the bases of small trees or shrubs with the foil, covering the trunk to your waist so deer won't find a spot to nibble. This keeps the bark intact, ensuring healthy growth.
