Do you think Milorganite would help keep the deer away also?

Lorraine,
 
When we had a cat we never had a rabbit problem. Now we have red tailed hawks that circle over head and yet you can always find 1/2 dozen rabbits somewhere. In my garden they have decimated the Platycodon, Callirhoe, Rudbeckia triloba, and more.
 
Last year I had purchased a new Liriope that is chartreuse. The rabbits love regular Liriope but this poor PeeDee Gold variety couldn't even get out of the ground. Many people use Milorganite as a deer deterrent so I made a ring of Milorganite around the PeeDee Gold Liriope and no more rabbits!
 
This year I remembered that after noticing the disappearance of the above mentioned perennials so I also put the milorganite around them. Worked like a charm for me. The rabbits are still here but they are eating the clover in the lawn. A perfect arrangement as I see it :-)
