When planting hosta, get some chunks of soap and gravel and put it in the soil when you plant them. If it feels very uncomfortable when you put your hand into the soil (or blocked because of the gravel) then you have sufficient quantity to keep critter from munching.
Voles love to eat what the deer leave behind.
Theres a lot of things I don't plant in my shrub beds just because of the critter issues.
