Mix hot sauce with some lemon dishwashing soap and spray it on the garden. The soap will create a film that's not harmful to the plants, and the hot sauce will be horrible for the insects and rodents to eat, so they won't eat your plants.
well the simplest way would be to put a short garden fence around it...but there are products out on the market Shake Away for rabbits.deer etc etc...they contain urine of different animals.I have also read.(and have only read) some people them selves urinate into jars and pour it around the perimeter or their gardens and they say it works.someone else also told me that save cuttings from your hair and spread it around too.
It may not be attractive but, you could put up a temporary fence around your garden 3ft high should do the trick. You can use chicken wire and metal posts to keep it in place.
Drive in some stakes and attach some fine mesh chicken wire to them. Surround the garden with the fence.
Make it 2 feet high.
Hope you are growing some OKRA in your garden. (Fried okra is my favorite. Stewed okra? YUCK!)
the best way is to put up fence posts and attach wire mesh to it ... as long as the critters are not large enough to jump over it (deer) a 3-foot fence should be fine,,,,you can plant flowers near the frence... they will look nice.and don't forget a garden gate .it is a problem as old as bunnies themselves
I have heard to lay pieces of black piping around the perimeter of a garden to keep bunnies out. It simulates black snakes.
either cage it into chicken wire, or visit your nursery to buy a yellow ball with some silver strings taht spook the life out of them. They also sell inflatable owls, and snakes. With those, however, remember to change their places every so often so that the animals don't learn they are inflatables and won't harm them.
I have found through personal experience that it is almost impossible to keep bunnies and critters out of a graden if that is where they want to be.
The way I have learned to deal with the situation is to plant extra veggies that they like, and they will stick to those and leave the rest for our family. Lettuce works well for me, I plant that in front of the rest of the plants and they will stick to eating only that.
the best ways are to lay hair around that area. instead of buying traps. if u lay at least 1-5 strings of hair the rabbit would be able so smell that a human is there and would leave your garden. trust me it works, because i had the same problem.
best of luck.
