I have planted yellow, orange, and red bell peppers. The rabbits are eating them. Any suggestions about how to stop this?

Plant Marigold in between each plant. They won't like the smell. But if there isn't another food source near by, the will eventually eat away anyhow.

I found a spray at the local hardware store that I sprayed on my marigolds that has helped greatly.....fox urine spray only on the marigolds and that will keep the rabbits away. I also use the fox urine on my crocuses in the spring or they chew them to the ground

Home Depot and Lowe's sells bird netting which protects plants from your furry buddies and birds. We use this on plants to keep the deer away. Costs about $15.00 for 700 sq ft.

Make you some hot pepper spray works for me and totally so easy to make! And you more than likely have all you need in the kitchen cabinet!

Get a bag of dried blood. Yes, it is! And, it has worked for years. Must re-dust every several days or after rain. Victor

Try spreading some human hair around your plants or put up a cheap fence around your garden with chicken wire.

I grow serano or habenero peppers for this reason. Dry them, grind to coarse flakes, then sprinkle near plants. neither rabbit nor cats will come near. More easily, you can buy red pepper flakes at the store and sprinkle them. Both work like a charm.

sprinkle cayenne pepper around the base of the plants
