Default Wabbits again

I set up a Have-a-hart trap where there's a gap in the fence at the
corner. I know that's where they get in. When that doesn't work, I'll
set the old Victor leg-hold trap. (Don't tell my wife or DD about that
one)


I've read that rabbits dont' like blood and bone meal - perhaps it would be
worth spreading some and fertilising at the same time rather than using a
trap.





They haven't been back since I set out the box trap. Maybe they
recognize it. Also, I've used lots of stale urine for fertilizer this
week. (not intentionally stale, it just got away from me) Smelled
pretty bad when I spread it around. Maybe that offends their sensitive
little noses. ;-)
