What Vegetables Can I Grow In The Presence Of Wild Rabbits And No Fence?
Posted by admin on February 2, 2010
I am asked to set up a vegetable garden for children in an area infested with wild rabbits there is not the the money for any fencing or the time to install any,I am happy to grow only those vegetables that are not eaten by rabbits.
I have grown summer squash and tomatoes without a fence and rabbits (we have lots too) have never eaten them.
UMMMMMMM NONE! lol A rabbit eats almost any and all vegies! We use to raise them and they would eat anything even resembling a vegie! I would say u definetely need to put a fence around it! Good luck!
Try planting some marigolds around the garden, rabbits are supposed to be repelled by them
Marigolds are definitely a good thing to plant around the perimeter. Animals of all sorts hate them. And they add a splash of color. Good Luck!
A hungry rabbit spares no plant. No fence no garden. The only thing you can possibly do is collect all the clear plastic pop bottles and cut the bottoms out. Stick the seed in the ground and push the bottle over it. Leave the cap on till the plant hits the top. Depending on the plant you can let it grow through the opening after you remove the cap or punch a hole with a knife and use scissors to open the bottle more. Leave the bottle in place and it will stop cut worms too. A rabbit will not stick it’s head up any further than he has too in the avoidance of hawks. This also stops the crows.
