Greetings All:

My first post here.  I know newspapers work well for mulch, but I also heard
that it works to fend off deer, rabbits, etc.  Is this true?  I am looking
for any articles that might delve into this subject as well, if you know of
any.  Many thanks!

Bob

 The only thing I found regarding newspaper and deer repellent is for a
ground barrier cover, 3-4 feet wide.  The newspaper is not mulched.  Wire
mesh is usually used for that purpose.

No.  Only sure fire way to deter deer is a fence.
