Can you advise sheep repellent plants and flowers?
Question:My friend wants to plant flowers and plants on her land, but in the past they have been eaten by her pet sheep and goats. Is there any thing that they wont eat.
Answers:
Nice pets...sheep&goats..they have to eat something.
Aren't goats supposed to eat anything?
Otherwise, gorse used originally for hedging down under,is a possibility or anything similar with thorns
A goat will eat pretty much anything. If you leave your car parked too long where they can get to it, they'll figure out a way to eat it too.
Try building a fenced area just for the livestock so you can park your cars where the goats won't climb on them, eat the landscaping,etc.
Electric fences work also.
I'd eat 'em (also a great deterent).
Sheep don't eat Agapantha plants, daffodils and some other bulbs. They either don't eat or are killed by Cammellias and Rhododendrons, but either way, if the sheep do or don't eat them, she'll win!
She could also try silk flowers..... or plastic ones or perhaps a fence!
plant wire netting seeds between posts approx 4 inch apart between plants and sheep. I'm postive that when the seeds grow that will offer good protection.
(If not add a car battery to it.)
chrysanthemums and marigolds are great!!!!! hope this works. good luck! vicki
