Fencing: Install a sturdy fence around your garden area to keep rabbits out. Use wire mesh fencing with small openings.
Underground barriers: Bury the bottom of your fence at least 6-12 inches deep to deter rabbits from digging under it.
Chicken wire: Attach chicken wire or hardware cloth to the bottom of your fence and bury it a few inches into the ground.
Raised beds: Consider using raised garden beds, as rabbits may have difficulty accessing plants that are elevated off the ground.
Repellents: Use natural or commercial repellents designed to deter rabbits. These may include scents like garlic, peppermint.
Netting: Cover vulnerable plants with netting or row covers to prevent rabbits from reaching them.
Prickly plants: Plant thorny or prickly plants around your garden perimeter, such as rose bushes or holly bushes.
Remove hiding spots: Clear away brush piles, tall grass, and other hiding spots near your garden where rabbits may take shelter.
