Vincent,
I would like to do alternate row spraying in the high density block
and at 4 mph, I noticed poor coverage similar to what Peter
mentioned. Are you guys going every row? Also, my rows are very,
very tight up against the deer fence and that speed it was hard to
get turned around
We use 1/2 rate from both sides for the coverage as opposed to full rate both
sides. Also you can mix for one block and then either add the water or more
material for the other block.

The only deer deterrent I've seen that works long term is a good fence.
I don't doubt you that deer can spread blight. I never believed it until it
happened to me but fire blight can also be spread from the smoke (or more
likely ash) from a burn pile.
When a neighbor removed a block of severely
Lee, we use a product called Repells All by Bonide that lasts up to 2 months
and is made up of Dried Blood , Putrescent whole egg solids, Garlic oil,
Acetic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Cloves, Fish oil, Onions, Meat meal, Seaweed,
Vanillin, Vitamin E, and Wintergreen oil. It comes in a 6 lb.
I've tried many products and most of the ones mentioned in this thread.
Liquid Fence = Ranch Dressing. Dried Blood is deer code for Merlot. Here in
Montana, if a deer is hungry, he will eat anything. I finally put in an
eight foot high tensile fence.
