GM,
Deer were my bain for about 4 years, not consecutive, and then I tried coyote urine crystals. Worked unbelievably well. I've also seen bobcat urine crystals online. In past, had limited success on rabbits and deer with blood meal, but requires replenishing often,especially after a rain.
Perimetered garden patch with coyote urine in 4 spots [light sprinkling] about 32cm/1 foot diameter, once in Spring, and once in midsummer. Deer and rabbits disappeared for months.
Unlike blood meal and other repellents, coyote urine scares them away, and they stay away.
Bonecarver,
Corn works pretty well if you get a tall cultivar. It likes a lot of everything, esp. N. I grew a small plant among Plumbago which grows well at 30 degrees latitude. Used a 10 gal. pot [potting mix] hidden under the plumbago canopy. I kept the buds bent and tied to the plumbago, so from a distance you couldn't tell that it was a different plant. I got pretty good production and good quality even though it was in dappled shade all but 3 to 4 hours per day.
It was fun, and let's not overlook the fun aspect of this enterprise.
