I use dog hair. It's a lot easier to get than running around and
trying to hold that cup under the fox.
Just offer to brush your friend's dog a few times with an undercoat
rake or comb. You need a dog with a double coat, whose undercoat is
now shedding. Something like a collie, or German Shepherd, or Saint
Bernard, Chow, or Akita. Or in my case, a Kangal Dog.
Spread handfuls around, spray with water to flatten, and it will stick
all summer. All I can say is, our neighborhood is a haven for gangs of
rabbits, and they stay out of our veggie gardens.
Cheers
Sue

I have a samall garden where I have eggplants. I have it fenced by a
bird-netting fencing. The net is firmly stapled to the ground. I noticed
that something was eating my eggplants and sweet pepper plants at the
rate of two per day(even with the net around). I thought it was the
birdy doing it, so I covered it from above with a bird netting. Still I
found my plants eaten. I found a hole at one end of the netting(could
have been there before), so reinforced it. Still someone ate the plants.
One day hubby saw a tiny-rabbit getting in the garden and destroying a
plant and leave!
Someone told us that if we sprayed Habernero peppers water, rabbit will
not bother the plants. But even after spraying peppers water, I have
missing plants!! The rabbit is essentially breaking the plant in two
halves!
How do I prevent any further casualties? I have already lost about
12plants!!
I have been using fox urine around my plants.

Where do you get the fox urine? Also, will it be re-sprinkled after the
rain?
