rabbits - August 2nd, 2005 at 12:20 AM
Here is a picture of a bunny I caught in my yard yesterday. I let it go and then ran into 4 of its siblings in the garden through the day. I have tried everything to keep them out this season. I never had any before but the neighbor who is very close built a shed by my garden and doesn't keep his yard in good condition and there are a family of rabbits living under the shed. I tried garlic, moth balls and that sort of thing earlier; then fox urine. Nothing works once they are established! Next year I will fence (a big pain when working in the garden to have to go around!) but cannot this year. If there is anything I could try for the rest of the season please let me know. I want to grow some fall lettuce but know I will just be giving it to the rabbits. Should I give them a bale of hay? or is that a bad idea?
