How can I keep rabbits out of my garden other than putting up a fence?

This worked for me! Buy a bar of green Irish Spring Soap. Take a potato peeler and shave bits of the soap around your garden. They do not like the scent. It lasts even after a few rains. You might have to redo once in awhile. It saved my tulips and hostas in the spring!

There is a rabbit and/or deer spray product that works. It stinks, but the smell lessens with time while still offensive to rabbits and deer. You can get it at Home Depot or any garden center.

I have used moth balls scattered in the garden to deter the rabbits.

Plant flowers, etc that they don't care for the smell or to eat. Supposedly, rabbits don't care for marigolds as well as:

forsythia, lilac bush, marigolds, zinnias, daffodils, lavender, and snapdragons for rabbits. This might help to reduce your rabbit population. This is not a guaranteed solution, as hungry rabbits will eat almost anything, but filling your garden with these plants might make your garden less appetizing than another one.

Or go to Walmart in Iron section and there you will find a blue can of moth ball crystals. Just sprinkle it around your garden of fence.
