I would run the Irish Spring through a cheese grater and sprinkle on the leaves. Inevitably, it will rain and it'll wash off and the deer come back.

I've had good luck with chili powder on my tiger lilies (deer like the buds just before they open up) so I bought a huge container of chili powder to try on the hostas this year. My back yard will have a new scent this year!

By the way... Enjoy the 'shrooms!
