The biggest enemy of my tomato plants in 2009 was blight. As of the middle of August, the plants were dead. I did harvest 90 pounds of tomatos from 50 plants before it was over. Usually the plants will live until the first frost, even with some blight on them. My record harvest was 120 pounds on 50 plants in 2007. The motion sprinkler worked well. I had it right over the cucumbers and tomatos. A snoutful of cold water must not be too pleasant to Bambi. The pie plates were quite loud. On a quiet night, it would start the dogs barking within a quarter-mile. The soapy water and smell worked perfectly. You could smell the Irish Spring right after it went off. The other preventions I did were a motion-activated light mounted on top of an old wooden ladder. It came already wired to plug into a 110AC outlet. I just ran an extension cord to it. I could move it around whenever I needed to. Occasionally changing where the light is located will help keep the deer guessing. I also put twelve bars of soap around the home and left the outdoor lights on. I put up my short fence as well. That didn’t stop them last year. I figured the more difficult I made it for the deer, the better. That all seemed to do the trick. I noticed a nibble a couple of times, but the deer never came back consistently like last year. They did not touch the hostas, which were devastated last year. Good luck to you in your deer-fighting adventures.

Do you think that advertising a product/service by negatively highlighting a competitors features/benefits will achieve the kind of results expected?
For example:
An auto/truck manufacturer airs 2 commercials that highlight optional features that are available on their competitors products but not available on their product. Do these ads affect the auto/truck manufacturer positively or negatively?
#1 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGI8IRXRqpo&feature=related )
This commercial shows an optional step-ladder that folds out of the tailgate to allow a person to easily climb into the bed of a pick-up truck without stepping over the tailgate. This feature enables a person to load/unload the bed of the truck with ease and efficiency.
#2 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagPZOAtZp4&feature=related )
This commercial shows an optional heated steering wheel which can be used in cold weather to make driving/steering the vehicle more comfortable without putting on gloves.
Both commercials highlight competitor “options” that are not available on the advertised product. Neither commercial shows optional features that are exclusive to the product that is advertised.
Both commercials are aired during televised sports events.
In your opinion, How do these 2 commercials affect the perception of the 3 vehicles/manufacturers?
