I am having a big problem with wild rabbits. They have pretty much eaten my backyard flower garden. They're eaten my monarda, aster, stokesia, echinacea, and coreopsis. Does anyone have any tips that will help me? Will building a fence really keep them out of the garden? Thanks!

If you put in a fence you need to bury part of the bottom because they will dig under.

My dog helps keep them out but these work great too

Planting mints amongst my plants has worked well for me. They avoid strong-smelling plants.

I have had the same problem . The rabbits ate up my beets and lettuce. I even put up a fence pie pans windmills and nylon stockings with perfume. So far nothing little boogers. I read somewhere to use your own urine, sounds gross it works though . I f not your thing I also was told to hang ivory soap bars around and it is supposed to work to Good Luck
