In this tip video, Larry uses a cheap and effective way to keep deer from destroying his apple trees! It only cost less than 50 cents and last months! If you have a problem with animals and your fruit trees you need to try it!

This totally works for me! Not going to say 100% guaranteed but for the cost it's worth a try. I'm on day three of soap on a rope and my trees have yet to be molested by those hooved miscreants(aka 🦌)! Plus this is saving me hundreds of dollars in fencing. Thanks for passing this tip along with your video!

At my last house I had couple acres and about 50 fruit and nut trees. I used to get 3 ft tall chicken wire, cut the width to form a piece 2x the diameter of the trunk and just hang it with string from low branches. Never had deer damage to any tree protected with that.

What kind of soap did you use? Irish Spring? So the soap does not bother the flowers/plants/grass beneath the tree they are hanging from??

I've always thought soap kills plant roots if it gets in the soil. Did your trees stay healthy? I would like to use your tip but I might try to put some kind of a container below the soap.

I've heard that soap is beneficial because it keeps the soil loose and aids water penetration. Like anything else, though, too much of a good thing should be avoided.

When you have a deer problem, they seem to only go for the trees you grow, and not from mama nature.
