Default Natural way to keep rabbits out ?

Anyone know of a natural way to keep rabbits out of the garden ? Is there
a
certain plant or flower you can plant around the outside ?
Or any other good way ? If not what do you all use on the leaves to keep
them away ?


Not really -- they're tiny little buggers.

Some things you can try....

1) Chicken wire around the garden area. Be sure to anchor it to the ground
all the way around though, they will go under it otherwise. Note that chain
link will not work -- they're really good at going through it.

2) Plant a second garden where they can eat -- they may still nibble on
yours, but if they're full they're less likely to do so.

3) Plant clover in your lawn -- they like it bunches.

You can also try some of those water-on-movement devices such as those that
help control deer but you may have to get creative. Also, a dog will do
wonders for keeping the critters at bay, but that may introduce other
problems.
