Plants disliked by rabbits
 

Hi all
nods to some familiar names

Googling through the two groups it seems the question has only been asked
once and that a few years ago so...

Does anybody have any tips as to the type of plants that are disliked by
rabbits please?

As a starter we find that Lavender is not touched by 'ours' nor are
Astilbe and Hosta. Any others would be gratefully received.

FWIW we have also tried Renardine. This seems to work OK but does tend
to amsk the more natural smell in the garden. The ideal would be to
forget the Renardine and just fill the beds with plants the coneys won't
touch.

No promises, but it seems to work for me to plant a clove of garlic between
the plants I want to protect from them (cabbage, Brussels sprouts,
cauliflower, broccoli). Havent had a problem for two years.

I love the smell of garlick. What are the chances that it will rpel my
neighbours' multitudinous cats?

In another vein, has any reader ever tried out these new fangled supersonic
sound generators as a cat repellent?

I have been told that the cats just get used to it, using it
intermitantly would prolong its effectiveness

Animal deterrents, but not plants..... There is/was on the
market a motion detector that operated a water system, hooked up to an
impulse sprayer it could be effective, what do you want, eaten plants or
burnt plants!!!!! :-)....... A motion detector could be used to
operate electrical *scarecrows*.

They probably got used to it when the same devices were sold as
mosquito repellents.

Buy a dog whistle and try blowing on that.

Thanks for that. I'm told I forgot to mention that the heathers are
doing OK, so that is another for the list.

Coming up the drive tonight reminds me I should add foxgloves to the list
- sometime I can't see what is there because it is so familiar.

BTW your .sig separator appeared at the very start of your post so my
reply to you may be a little odd in terms of quoted content.
