Default Rabbits

You can try surrounding the area with Blood Meal, but you have to replenish
it after rain washes the scent. With the amount of rain lately, I'm afraid
you'd be out there constantly. Another solution might be trying some
products that you spray on the plants to repel them or they may dislike in
flavor. I just applied some Bulb Guard made by Deer Off to some petunias
that were in danger of disappearing because of bunnies. It lasts for a
couple of months and then you have to reapply. I know there are other
products out there, but none of these are natural. Do you have a dog or
cat? Their scent may repel them too. Although, many of my customers in
Preston have dogs and the bunnies are still not deterred. They have an
overabundence of brave bunnies that will chew just about anything they find.
Check out a hardware store and read some labels. Most of the products are
scent or taste activated, and not poisonous to bunnies, if that's what
you're worried about. Good luck.

Does anyone know of a natural deterrent to keep rabbits out of my flower
garden? My purple coneflowers are dwindling daily.
Thanks in advance.
