Rabbits and gardens

[Guest guest]

I sprinkle cayenne pepper, liberally, on my gardens,

both when I plant the seeds, so that they don't get

dug up, and when the plants emerge, sprinkle them

again. And nearly every year I have a nest of rabbits

in my community garden plot, but they must be eating

elsewhere.

Buy a big jar of cheap cayenne, and don't apply on a

windy day. . .

It seems to work.

I have had success with sprinkling blood meal around the plants. Of

course it needs to be redone after a rain. I have also used a floating

row cover (lightweight nonwoven fabric) which I bought from Garadener's

Supply). It is also a season extender, protecting the plants from a

light frost. You can buy staples to attach the edges or just use

rocks. Or if you want to get fancy you can use the wire hoops to

create a tunnel. You don't have the beautiful look of the plants, but

the rabbits can't get at amything.
