No Deer Here
How do you stop deer from eating the apple orchard? Ivory soap. Kindergarten teacher and apple orchard volunteer manager Sharon Hood showed her class and their fourth-grade reading buddies how to save our young apple trees from hungry deer. Then, the kids went to work, gently and not-so-gently coating the tree bark with the waxy soap and wrapping plastic collars around the trunks. The division of labor was clear: Kindergartners applied soap to the lower branches, while the fourth graders took care of the tree tops. Last year’s kindergartners and fifth graders planted the orchard in November 2009 as part of the McDonogh Roots project.
