needs no adjustment.
• Water plants every six to eight
weeks in winter to prevent desiccation, if
the soil will accept it.
• Water plants deeply but infrequently
to prevent shallow roots and drying out.
Plants: Most of all, say OSU Extension
agents, carefully select your plants to
ensure adaptability to Central Oregon.
• Deer-resistant does not mean deer-
proof; deer browsing depends upon the
available food, time of year, location,
deer species and simple curiosity. The
only sure-fire way to keep the deer from
nibbling is to put up a tall enough fence.
• The rockchuck, a marmot in the
squirrel family, can cause damage in
some gardens. Some methods to reduce
damage include planting away from
buildings and fences (rockchucks avoid
open areas), short flexible fences (buried
at least a foot), ammonia-soaked rags
and removing rock piles or other shelter
where they may set up house.
