Looking for ways to keep deer from eating plants? Some gardeners swear by using Irish Spring soap or coffee grinds to keep deer away.
But does it really work? The answer may surprise you.
Some gardeners swear by hanging bars or using shavings of heavily scented soaps like Irish Spring in the garden.
