Wabbits: how do you keep them out of your garden?

rabbit goes good with fresh vegetables.

I bet ***** could do an executive order...edit:.WOW DID I SAY A BAD WORD?

We used to have a large garden and our big overgrown cat kept the rabbits down. Damn cat used to jump on my back when I picked greenbeans...scared hell out of me. But
he was a good rabiteer.

Dunk's suggestion is the way to go.

I had four tree rats getting into my attic this winter. Since I live in a development .22lr is a no go. Picked up a high velocity pellet rifle for 100 bones at Wally World. Dialed in the scope and camped out after dinner in the late afternoons. I played the role of old Whitefeather and my son played the role of spotter. Took me a couple of weeks but I killed them.

There's a reason they call it "multiplying like rabbits".

Rabbits breed 5+ times per year and have 4-5 in each litter. That's a lot of wabbits.

Interestingly, 80%of the rabbit population is killed each year.

LOL, good for you that they sell 250 round packs of pellets for around $3. By September you should have about 220 left hahahahahaha.

Chili powder will do it

Grandma used to boil a big pot of water and put hot peppers in it. When it cooled, she poured the water on her vegetables. Of course, it has to be repeated after rain. Worked in Mo. and we had LOTS of rabbits.

My dog actually catches rabbits on a regular basis. If they come inside of my fenced yard, they are hers. She caught a full grown rabbit last Sunday and killed it.

I have a 3' rabit fence around my entire garden, but I added chicken wire all the way around to keep the baby rabbits out. I still have issues with the F'n Chipmunks every once in a while. I also have a Greyhound that has killed many rabbits outside the garden but she's getting old and losing interest. Might need to pick up another rescue to pick up the slack.

Most years I have more trouble with Chiipmunks eating my tomatoes. Also, once had a dog which loved to play with green tomatoes. He would harvest about four a day.
