how to keep deer away

Use human hair as a deterrent. Human hair can repel deer, so get some from your local barber or hairdresser (it should be free of charge).

Make some hot pepper spray. Spray plants that you don't want to be eaten by deer with a hot pepper spray.

Grow plants that deer dislike. This comes with a big caveat – deer, if hungry or curious enough, will eat almost anything.^[1] As such, none of the plants that might deter them is a sure thing but you can at least try. Some of the plants that deer seem to not like include ornamental grasses, iris, foxgloves, yucca, herbs, and plants with a strong fragrance, such as sage, chives, lemon balm, bee balm, etc. They also dislike plants with thorns, such as purple coneflower but delicious roses seem to be a marked exception to that!

Equally, be aware of which plants are likely to tempt deer to your yard. Plants such as tulips, chrysanthemum, hyacinths, roses, apples, beans, peas, raspberries, strawberries, sweetcorn, hosta, dogwood, fruit trees, Norway maple, yew, and azaleas positively radiate welcome signs to deer!^[2] Sometimes people plant these a long way from parts of the yard or garden to lure deer away; that's a risky strategy though as may just invite them to one end and encourage them to keep wandering through.
