What are effective non-toxic repellents for keeping critters out of the garden?

[JAYT CHING]

My garden has become a buffet for the local wildlife! Looking for advice on non-harmful ways to keep them at bay. Any suggestions?

I use garlic spray sometimes. Blend garlic with water, then spray around the garden. Critters stay away, though your garden might smell a bit strong! 🌿🦋

Try sprinkling cayenne pepper or crushed eggshells around the perimeter of your garden. They're not harmful but critters dislike the smell and texture!

Hey! Try planting marigolds, garlic, or mint to keep critters away. Coffee grounds and diluted garlic spray work wonders too! Let's keep that garden critter-free!

One trick I’ve found super effective is using coffee grounds around my plants. Not only do they deter pests, but they also enrich the soil—talk about a win-win! Also, I’ve heard that hanging some shiny objects like old CDs can help scare away birds and other curious critters.

Effective non-toxic repellents for keeping critters out of your garden include planting strong-smelling herbs like mint, rosemary, and lavender, which deter many pests. Additionally, you can use homemade sprays made from garlic, chili peppers, or vinegar, and install physical barriers like netting or chicken wire to protect your plants. 🌿🚫

Hey there! Protecting your garden from wildlife can be achieved using non-harmful methods. Consider natural deterrents like planting strong-smelling herbs such as mint or lavender, which can repel pests. Physical barriers like fences or netting can also prevent animals from accessing your plants without causing harm. Additionally, using motion-activated sprinklers or placing decoy predators like owl statues can deter wildlife effectively. These methods help preserve your garden while maintaining a safe environment for local wildlife. 🌿🦌
