I wen't out to the garden today to find my Kale, cauliflower and strawberries all chewed up! I am so upset. The Kale was growing beautifully. So, I got on Google looking for some homemade ways to repel critters, I don't have time to plant anything tonight so I will be trying a couple tactics for tonight's attack. #1 Placing dryer sheets around the perimeter of the Garden, the scent is supposed to deter them, other plus, I stopped using them in the dryer on my clothes so now I found a use for the remaining sheets! #2 A mixture of paprika, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper and black pepper around the plants base. Fingers crossed this helps!!!!
