I have asked the rabbit nicely to please not eat my young vegetable
plants.
I have told them they could eat the grass but they keep coming back and
nibbling on my young tender bean plants. I even brushed out the dog and
put
the hair around the area and just now there it was again. Short of putting
up a chicken wire fence does anyone know how to keep them out?

Thanks in advance, Kathy

I've just spent a month fighting a horde of 4 large white rabbits in the
middle of the city. Before I found something that worked I lost a bed of
carrots and most of my limas, black and pinto beans, and they had begun
eating avocado plants... stem and all down to the soil!

What finally worked was powdered cayenne pepper, dry (spraying pepper and
water didn't phase them). The powder is light and sits on the leaves. For a
few days I'd see one bite out of a different leaf (black-eyed peas were all
that were left) and no more damage. When the green beans re-leafed they hit
again so I put cayenne on them and they left them alone.

The carrot sprouts all took a hit again this week so they're still coming
around but those are sprinkled now, too.

FWIW, it was Zatarain's brand sprinkled from a salt shaker.
