Hungry rabbit eating the garden already!

I never knew squirrels liked hardy cyclamen bulbs until....

Maybe a few survived. zemedelec

Coast of Maine makes a fermented salmon deterrent that's great, albeit a bit pricey if you're using it on a large area:

Beware that it is stinky beyond description. Think of the most fetid pair of sneakers you've ever smelled, then multiply 10x. The smell dissipates fairly quickly (to the human nose) after application, but is still strong enough to discourage the wildlife.

Me too. But I also like fresh veggies. I fenced my garden & that keeps most rabbits out.

When one finds a way in, a Crossman 66c converts him from poacher to compost.

Surround your vegetable garden with steel "T" posts and chicken wire. Use 3" limbs on the bottom at the ground and stable the chicken wire to this. The green chicken wire is barely noticeable. It will keep out rabbits, but not groundhogs possums or squirrels (you'll need an electric fence for that).

Blood meal works but as soon as the rain washes it off, it becomes ineffective. I could not find blood meal at a reasonable price, but you may have better luck. Spread the blood meal in a 3" wide border around the garden. Rabbits generally sniff the ground before approaching an area. There are several other materials you could try besides blood meal, but blood meal provides some useful nitrogen for your plants. A dog makes a useful deterrent.

I would love a dog....later rather than sooner. Had two Cocker Spaniels for

Sorry for your loss. I don't know what I will do after my Rexxy is gone. He has a way with the riff raff in the neighborhood, as well as the rabbits.

take care Liz

The best rabbit pellets come in .177 and.22 caliber.
