Re: War on Rabbits

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I don't remember anyone mentioning the most effective deterrant - a fence.  
Rabbits are not very persistent (unlike the woodchucks that plague me) and a 
minimal fence will keep them out.  A three foot high fence of chicken wire 
or the green vinyl clad wire if esthetics is an issue,should work fine.

They can really devastate young plants;  if you have any remay cloth, you 
could put that over your plants until they get large enough to survive a 
rabbit assault.

Also,  over the years, I have learned which things rabbits won't eat (a 
fairly short list) and grow them outside my fence;  I also have a patch of 
clover down near the bramble bush that is their home;   I don't mow that and 
they tend to hang around that area.  It is a lot of fun to watch their 
antics, so for me a fence is worth it (although I wasn't saying it when they 
nibbled twenty four sun flowers down to the stalk.
