Want to plant what you want where you want? 

Good Earth recommends Liquid Fence. It’s a product that has worked very well for us both personally and professionally. It is a ready-to-use spray that can be applied to any plant except edible herbs and vegetables. It will not wash off in rain an lasts up to 30 days. It has a strong odor when first applied, but this dissipates within 24 hours. We recommend applying this product in the evening. This product is naturally derived but can be harmful to children and pets if used incorrectly.
