What is the best way to keep rabbits from digging into my garden?

I have wild rabbits digging under my fenced in garden and nothing I have done seems to keep them out.

Put your fence a few feet in the dirt....i.e. Dig a trench, plant the fencing.
scatter jalapeño pepper powder or hot paprika around your plants, any little visitor don't like their paws nor their whiskers burned. It's an old Italian method that I use , it works for me,hopefully it helps you. Jalapeño peppers are easy to grow, dry them out and make powder. Be careful it will irritate your nose too! Good luck, I hope it works!! Carina😟
I don't want to tell you that it is any body's problem, people are invading the wild life's living areas. If you want to live in the city in a country area, then you will have to learn that it is you that need to work around the rabbits, or any other wild life. So stop invading wild life area. You know that the city is growing out in to where they should not be living. So stop your complaining.
You need to bury the fencing at least 6-8" or place bricks or pavers around the circumfrence.
Sprinkling soap shavings will keep them out! Good luck!

I have LOTS of wild rabbits and I surrounded my garden with chicken wire and buried the edge about 6" in the ground. In some places instead of burying it I instead laid about 6" of the bottom edge on the ground and put bricks or old landscaping timbers on it to keep it flattened against the ground. Both have worked for me to keep them out.
