Mayan Garden Club Tip of the Month: Animal Deterrents

Lydia Hollinger shares some great advice on how to keep pets and jungle animals out of your gardens and off your fruit trees.

Deter your beloved cat or dog from doing his or her business in your vegetable or flower garden by spreading a mixture of coffee grounds and orange peels around the area of which they have become most fond. The scent tends to repel pets, thus encouraging them to do their business elsewhere.

For the flying animals – keep them away from your fruits by wrapping aluminum foil around the fruits or hang shiny old CD’s from the branches.
