Dave, that is precisely what the milorganite is for. I have found if you can get milorganite down within 2 weeks of planting, you will be ok(especially with peas). If the deer nip them off before the peas get the second leaf, the plant will not make it. I hope and pray that my scare crows and ribbon deterred them enough till I can get up there this weekend and put down a couple bags of milorg.

Yeah....they are hard as heck on peas, soybeans, corn, get about one or two leaves....nipped off.....gone....I've sat in a blind and watched the deer go through our plots right after they just come up and they mow em down like a vacuum cleaner......especially soy beans....man they love those beans....never could get them past two leaves even when we planted all the plots with them.....but the milorg.....definitely stops that.
just treat Crock to a mexican dinner with an ex-lax chaser and let him have at it. guarrenteed no animal or human will come near the area for a long-long time.
Good point.....but....I just want the deer to lay off for a while......not get the whole county shutdown for years.....
