At the end of winter, hares, and sometimes even larger animals, such as deer, may visit gardens full of fruit trees and bushes.When looking for food, hungry animals can breach fences or damage cultivated plants.Young, not yet completely woody parts of young trees are especially tasty for them. Hares and wild rabbits most often nibble on the bark on the trunk, and deer nibble on young twigs with buds.
To scare field animals from visiting the garden, you can use electronic scare devices or sprinkle trees with repellants, i.e. chemical substances that repel wild animals (they have an unpleasant smell and therefore are not widely used).
However, it is possible to protect the bark from being bitten in a very simple and cheap way. For this purpose, we hang the cheapest toilet soaps on the tree, which usually have an intense and long-lasting scent that effectively repels animals.A little more troublesome and less aesthetic is to lubricate tree trunks with clay and sand.However, this method is also effective. discourage game from gnawing plants.
