These beans (SSI monarchs) are about 3 weeks old, not very much rain on them. and have been sprayed once..

Deer have wiped out a few spots already.

The directions says to mix 13 oz of concentrate to one gallon of water, the concentrage came in a 16 oz bottle so i just mixed it with a gallon.

Opted not to buy the stakes because i had a bundle of dried 4' bambo stakes left over from a tree planting project.

Rather than walking around and spraying the ribbon, i wraped a sponge around the ribbon and sprayed the ribbon inside the sponge to keep from wasting so much.

took in 3 of the best producing saw tooths on this plot to try and save some acorns for oct. 1

You can also see the persimmon tree in the picture, the limbs are about to break its so loaded.

This plot is approx. an acre.

One farm over my budy planted 5 acres of the same beans. maybe the deer will leave mine alone untill they eat all of his up.


we will see what happens.

beans almost doubled in height since last week.

most every thing outside the ribbone had been grazed on heavily.

seems to be working great.

Interesting. Keep us informed on how they do. I guess it keeps coons away too. Also how often to reapply

Check with a agriliance, helena or cps for some capsium spray. When i worked at CPS we had a product called caliente that was basically a hot sauce capsium concentrate. Had to spray on our test plots at agricenter cuz the deer kept eatin them
