surrounded by RABBITS

LOL I have heard bunnies can be deterred if you have your DH "water the bushes".

Ohh-h, maybe that's the problem...needs to be male species urine???

I've also heard the same!!! The same "watering" is suppose to take care of deer, ants, gophers, etc. (But I don't KNOW personally if it works or not.)

should i add this to the honeydoo list???

LOL, Don't think I could get DH to do that! We live near a busy road! He does, however, water back of the garage and I see the rabbits back there!
Seems I read that old trappers used to "water" the perimeter of their camp to keep varmints out.

I suppose that could have worked, back in the day, when there were a lot less humans around.

Yes, I think many, if not most, animals have become somewhat used to humans. That is apparent when bear and mountain lions show up in cities!

Oh...I have been trying to get hubby to water the compost pile forever! he's only shy when I don't want him to be!

Coleus canina is in the PDB (it just didn't bear the colorful names mentioned above; it does now): http://davesgarden.com/pdb/go/76035/

Someone might want to start an entry in Garden Terms with these remedies and recipes. I for one will be trying the egg mixture next spring. (If that doesn't work, I'll be learning how to shoot a .22 - and at the rate the bunnies devour my ornamentals and vegetables, I'm not particularly gun-shy, pardon the pun ;o)

Surely you don't mean to include "bush watering", do you!?! LOL

If it can be couched in clinical terms that aren't merely prurient ;o)

I was referring more to things such as the egg recipe, but actually a list of all known/suspected deterrents isn't a half-bad idea.

Terry, don't give Moby any ideas. Her neighbors are probably still wondering about those "Dormant Naked Ladies" out under her trees....

Dh could water my compost, it is back of the garage where he likes to "go"! LOL. There seems to be a growing list of deterrents. It would be nice if they were in one place, perhaps with "results"! My shrubs are now sprayed with egg mixture. And I sure hope it works. I went to the neighbors' the other day but they didn't answer the door! I wonder why.
