Rabbits can nibble your garden to the ground. Here’s how to protect it:
1. Fencing: Install a fence at least 2 feet high with the bottom buried 6 inches deep.
2. Repellents: Use commercial or homemade repellents like garlic or hot pepper spray.
3. Netting: Place netting over plants to keep rabbits out.
4. Scare Tactics: Use motion-activated lights or sprinklers to scare rabbits away.
5. Plant Selection: Grow rabbit-resistant plants like marigolds and lavender.
Tips:
- Regularly check for and repair holes in fences.
- Remove attractants like fallen fruits and vegetables.
- Create barriers around individual plants using chicken wire.
