how to rabbit proof raised beds
Comments (33)It's really simple!! Go buy a 4 feet picket fence sections. Staple gun 1/2 to 1 inch 36 inch high galvanized fencing all around it. Rabbits can't get through there. You can also toss a 100 black eyed Susan seeds in some soil, water and the rabbits will eat them instead. You can plant a few full size black eyed Susan plants and they spread. No need to buy anymore. The rabbits eat the leaves and they grow in thicker. You can also make a surround of rose bushes and anything thorny so they can't try climbing over. Use you noggins, observe whatvrrally needs to be done and do it. Stop killing and trapping wildlife. They have young they'll leave behind to starve if you trap. Plus you need a permit. It's against the law to trap no remove any nursing wildlife. If you really want to block the rabbits you'd build the right enclosure to begin with. In the end spending the money for the fencing and flowers will save you time and money. It'll last for years. Then everyone's happy! Don't build a garden without protection and cry about the wildlife. They were here first. They can't read or know it's " your garden"....See MoreDo Rabbits Eat Potato Plants?
Comments (2)Hi, Yes, rabbits will eat potato leaves, especially young rabbits. They learn what to eat by nibbling everything. I lost a good crop of potatoes until I got a dog and let him loose in the garden. I was also shocked when all of my apricot foxgloves were eaten, stripped right down to the stems. More so if there is a large population and they are hungry. They will eat almost anything. If you google rabbit proof plants, they will list all of the garden flower types that they don't like. Maybe you could companion plant or spray a rabbit repellent on the leaves....See MoreRabbits in gardens
Comments (3)Seasons greetings, I am also subject to rabbit visits---and possums and hares!! I have noticed that after I started spraying the plants with a brew of neem oil and liquid fertilser all these critters have left even the roses alone. Not even a test nibble and the aphids are dealt to with the added bonus of healthy growth. Hope this helps--good gardening!...See MoreWANTED: Drought tolerant & rabbit proof plants
Comments (0)We recently moved into San Timoteo Canyon, and I am looking for just about anything drought tolerant and rabbit proof (flowers, shrubs, small trees). We have no grass, so I am wanting to make a xeroscape front yard. We have mature trees, so a great part sun-part shade canopy (they are California pepper and birch trees). HELP!!...See MorePv Picotte
