Are you tired of deer munching on your newly planted garden? Whether it's delicate shoots or fresh growth, these unwelcome visitors can wreak havoc on your carefully tended plants. But fear not, there's a simple and effective solution: homemade deer repellent.

We recommend spraying the following homemade deer repellent for at least 3 weeks on newly planted items every three days. If it rains or if you water, you must spray again. Also, in the spring, spray new growth to keep deer from eating the delicate new growth. 

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• Garlic cloves
• Water (1 gallon)
• Dish soap

Instructions:

1. Crack the eggs and add them to a blender.
2. Peel and add several cloves of garlic to the blender.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth.
4. Transfer the mixture to a bucket.
5. Pour in one gallon of water.
6. Add a small amount of dish soap to the mixture.
7. Allow the mixture to sit in the sun for 24-48 hours.

1. Once the mixture is ready, pour it into a pump sprayer.
2. Spray the solution onto your plants, focusing on newly planted ones or areas with fresh growth.
3. Repeat the spraying process every three days, especially after rainfall.
4. In the spring, make sure to target new growth to deter young deer from developing a taste for your plants.

The pungent odor of garlic and eggs combined with the soapy water creates a repellent scent that deer find unappealing. While harmless to plants and humans, it effectively deters deer from grazing on your garden.

• Store the leftover mixture in a sealed container away from direct sunlight.
• Be cautious when handling the mixture, as it can be quite smelly.
• Consider applying the repellent early in the morning or late in the evening when deer are most active.

By following these simple steps, you can protect your garden from deer damage and enjoy a flourishing landscape all season long. Say goodbye to unwanted nibbling and hello to a thriving garden!

So for the last few months KLVB has been partnering with the Friends of the Library to complete the area between the Library and City Hall.Since KLVB has taken care of this space we have referred to it as the Municipal Green Space or just the Green Space.Anyways it has been KLVB’s  dream to beautify this area and add a few sculptures other than “Glee”. Things have gotten in our way but I can proudly say today our dreams have come true. KLVB has added a statue of a girl reading a book to a smaller boy and they are sitting on a log. Be sure and stop by to check it out. This Green Space is now complete. Thank you to all who helped in any way. Feel free to climb all over the caterpillar but please do not climb on the statue of the kids. Feel free to take photos with the statue and tag KLVB. Here are just a few photos of the progress. Thank you to Mike Leitko and Dan Sellers for setting the concrete and rocking the area. Mike we could have not have made this a dream come true without your help. Also thank you Jason Sellers for helping drill the holes and setting the fasteners so the statue is secure. And Bryan from Red Glass Iron Works for figuring out such a cool way to fasten the statue. Thanks to the Fiends of the Library for  paying for the last section of stone work  and to Alex and his crew from LV Contractors for laying all the stones.This was truly another community project. And one we all shall be proud of and all to enjoy.
