How do you keep the deer from eating them?
I sprinkle my hostas with "milorganite." It is a granular form of human waste---doesn't smell bad and is cheap. It is "Idiot proof"---that is why I like it. You cannot put on too much and it won't burn the plants if you do. You need to remember to put it on again after a rain. I just sprinkle it on the hostas. It is supposed to get into the root system and make the leaves taste bad so the deer do not eat them. I buy it here at a local feed store place. (Check out a place like Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)
However, the deer will eat the hostas if you do not remember to put the milorganite on often.
So, if you get busy like I do and forget. Then I use "Liquid Fence." It stinks to high heaven for a few days and is expensive...but nothing will eat the hostas then.
