I have tried several concoctions of spray, soaps, odors, scarecrows etc. all with little or no success. The one item has give a fair amount of success is a fence made by stringing monofilament fishing line around the garden plot. String 30 to 50 pound test monofilament line from "T" type fence post which are located about every 20 or 30 feet. String about 4 or more lines about a foot apart. When the deer touch this invisible (at lest to them) line they tend to be spooked and run away. You might have to replace any broken lines but the monofilament is cheap less than $3 for a 300 foot roll at your favorite discount store. Deer have poor eyesight so they cannot see the monofilament line. If you like you could hang some of the other deterrents suggested in this site.
Do a search on using monofilament line. There are several good articles about its use.
