2 eggs
1 cup skim milk
1 cup water
2 TBS liquid dish detergent

Mix together and spray on plants you want to protect.  Repeat every week or so, or after a rain.  Refrigerate any unused repellant.  I emulsify the eggs in a blender, and then stir in remaining ingredients.  For milk Iíve been using up the dry powder supply from Y2K (reconstituted)  and that works fine, or use fresh.  Recycled laundry stain remover spray containers work well for applying the repellant.

I got the recipe from Kreftmeyer Fine Gardens and believe the Missouri Botanic Garden developed it.  You can get a list of deer resistant plants from Kreftmeyer.
