Deer repellent spray:

1 gallon boiling water
1 dozen or more dried habanero peppers
4 oz vegetable oil
1 oz dishwashing liquid

In a large jar with a lid soak the peppers in the water for several days , put on rubber gloves , then strain out the husks through coffee filters . Add the oil and dishwashing liquid and pour into a sprayer . Shake vigorously before applying and occasionally during spraying to maintain the emulsion . Reapply as needed during the year .

Deer won't touch plants sprayed with this . Well , not twice anyway ...
