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. -- David Visit http://www.farm-direct.co.uk for your local farmgate food supplies.

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. Dwayne "David P" wrote in message ...

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? Franz Heymann Dwayne "David P" wrote in message ...

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*. bel |

Buy a dog whistle and try blowing on that. -- martin |

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. -- David Visit http://www.farm-direct.co.uk for your local farmgate food supplies.
