Karen on Apr 30, 2015Plant 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.Helpful Reply

Sharon Hall on May 01, 2015I 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 groundHelpful Reply

Cornelia Schott on May 01, 2015Home 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.Helpful Reply

Mfk on May 05, 2015I 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.1 marked as helpful Reply
