I've been using coyote urine (available at garden centers) with some success. <BR/><BR/>We've got a bunch of rabbits under our front hedge. My crocuses did not survive last year's rabbit onslaught - before I started using the coyote urine as a scent border around plants I want to protect.<BR/><BR/>If you have any major plants or small trees to protect, consider a temporary cage made from hardware cloth (cheap hardware store item). That saved my little Japanese maple last spring.Fargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532756626266773921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-61156497963020853822008-03-27T21:28:00.000-05:002008-03-27T21:28:00.000-05:00I've heard of the cayenne pepper trick.. that's ce...I've heard of the cayenne pepper trick.. that's certainly the cheapest route if it works.

They used to strip the marigolds I planted in front of a previous residence. And the blood meal actually acts as a fertilizer as well, so it's a double-bonus. It just all depends how "dangerously" these rabbits are willing to live.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283888397129595640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-55217028499154409722008-03-27T12:59:00.000-05:002008-03-27T12:59:00.000-05:00The wascally wabbit!I haven't had to deal with rab...The wascally wabbit!<BR/><BR/>I haven't had to deal with rabbits in years, but will soon be planting extensive flower beds around the new place. I was told to try blood meal, cayenne pepper, or coyote urine sprayed around plants to keep the little buggers away. Or when planting bulbs, add a pinch of cayenne as well.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374925727669703513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-91686119175182194502008-03-26T22:51:00.000-05:002008-03-26T22:51:00.000-05:00Ah yes.
