So, fellow #CommunityGardener got back to me (he had been on vacation). Apparently the electric fence stopped working! Some weeds had gotten too tall and grounded out the system! Fellow gardener got it fixed again, and I volunteered to help with weeds around the fencing. He also thanked me for my smelly efforts and agreed that we'll have to do something different next year (3D fence-wise).

My email to my neighbor, fellow community gardener, and selectboard member:

"Hi ____,

So, I was locked out of Facebook, so I can't communicate with the group. But if you could, please pass on my message...

On at least two occasions pretty recently, I found the gate open at the Community Garden. What I suspect happened is that the local deer saw that the gate was open and helped themselves to the pumpkins (judging by the tracks).

After getting a taste, I have a feeling that now they are jumping the fence, or somehow getting through the front gate (in between the wires).

I went around and set up white cloth tags soaked in coyote urine, and also sprayed all the wooden stakes. I'm not sure if those will be a deterrent, but I figured I'd try.

I think what needs to happen long term is more string "fences" need to be set-up on the inside of the fence, to help baffle the deer (3-D fencing). Or maybe some mesh fencing (which would be more expensive).

Anyhow, I'll plan on refreshing the tags if they work, and maybe someone could remind folks to make sure the fence is closed when they are done?

Thanks again for helping make this happen! And hopefully, we can keep the deer away from the remaining pumpkins (they were so cute)."

So, whether #Coyote pee will work as a #DeerDeterrent depends on whether the local coyotes hunt the local deer. Where I live, that is the case, so I'm going to try some fabric dunked in #CoyoteUrine and tied in strategic spots to see if that works against the #Deer in the #CommunityGarden . I think long-term, we need to put in a 3-D fence, which I'll post about in a bit. Judging by the tracks I saw in the pumpkin patch, it definitely looked like someone jumped over the fence (and the fence was a bit lower in one spot).

Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Apply Coyote Urine

"Most people buy predator urine, apply it once in a few obvious spots, and then declare that it did not work. The product is not the problem. The application is.

"Coyote urine is a genuine, potent biological deterrent, but it only performs when it is placed correctly, at the right height, in the right zones, and refreshed on the right schedule. Once you understand how to apply coyote urine the way wildlife actually experiences it, the difference in results is significant.

Read Your Property for Animal Signs Before You Apply

Spraying randomly without knowing where animals are moving is the single biggest waste of product. Before you open a bottle, spend 10 to 15 minutes walking your property and reading the evidence wildlife has already left behind.

Signs that tell you where to focus:
● Tracks in soft soil, mud, or frost near fence lines, garden edges, and outbuildings.
● Worn paths or flattened grass indicate repeated travel routes.
● Scat near feeding areas, denning sites, or along walls.
● Digging, especially near turf edges, garden beds, or the base of structures.
● Chewed plant material, stripped bark, or disturbed mulch."

How Long Does Coyote Urine Last?

December 19, 2022

"Coyote Urine Usually Lasts For a Week Or Two

Urine degrades fairly quickly when outside, which is why coyotes frequently mark their territory with pee. It’s often inconvenient for us to spread urine outside every day, but it is important to do it frequently to keep the scent strong.

[...]

How Long is the Shelf-Life of Coyote Urine

If it’s stored in a sealed container away from heat and moisture, it can last for multiple years.

[...]

What Animals are Affected by Coyote Urine?

If you’re trying to ward off animals from visiting your yard, coyote urine can usually deter common coyote prey like rodents, raccoons, rabbits, and cats.

It can also deter white-tailed deer, which are occasionally preyed upon by coyotes. But it’s not a surefire way of getting rid of deer, who will munch on plants regardless of urine scent if they’re really hungry.

Results with deer also depend on if they are used to having coyotes around as predators. In some areas, coyotes have easier prey to catch and rarely go after deer. Deer in these areas will likely not be scared of coyote urine."

So, recently, one of the community gardeners commented on how one of the plots (mine) was full of flowers, and that it was pretty. I thanked them and said it wasn't for show -- it was for the pollinators! When I watered today, there were three monarch butterflies sampling my wares, and my cosmos flowers were full of bumblebees. (Hopefully, I'll remember my camera tomorrow...)
