Rabbit proof?
13 years ago
I am having a problem with some plants in my garden. Rabbits.
Peas, beans, onions, garlic and even a recently sprouted peach tree, about 3" high, are all being eaten to the ground.
What I note is that they do not touch the tomatoes, potatoes, basil, mint, watercress, chives, strawberries or parsley.
Now, I an thinking of planting something they don't like around the patches they do eat. I hope this will keep them out. The problem with most of the above is they are 'weeds'. I planted extra curled parsley 2 years ago and the flat Italian type last year, Basil about 3 years ago. Now I have it sprouting all over the yard any place that gets a bit of water.
So does anyone know of something I can plant as a boarder that will do the job but not try to take over?
Oh, Iris plants seem good too. I had some squash sprout in my compost heap and it did not last the day, but the ones I have in the front yard in the clear plastic containers are up near some Iris plants and so far have not been touched.

I'll put a journal up in the faccc and see if we get any helpful suggestions. see http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3460829/ and keep an eye out for possible suggestions we can but give it a go. It might pay to ask

simple, effective and environmentally friendly. And a quick rinse under the faucet will usually wash any remaining pepper off.
