other Geminis, implying to hit the bricks, 3000 miles... oh, sorry, my mind was drifting there. You can try one of the commercial repellents but it has been my experience that when an animal is hungry enough (rabbits, deer) they will eat anything, repellents or not, they will find a way around them. You almost have to fence your garden in with 1x2 inch mesh on the bottom 2 feet of the fence.(younger rabbits will be able to squeeze through anything woven less closely than that.) bury it 6 inches deep or bend it outward at the bottom to rest on 6 inches of soil to discourage them from burrowing under.
I will also suggest that you contact your local Cooperative Extension Office and ask to speak with a Master Gardener. They will have the best local advice available. Good luck.

No, I have heard that if you paint the bottom 3 ft of your trees it will keep rabbits from eating the bark, I would consult a lawn and garden place ie. Home Depot or Lowes. Good luck though.
I know hot chili powder repels cats you could give it a try.

The absolute best and probably most humane rabbit or any other creature repellent is a motion activated water sprinkler. These sprinklers are not cheap but they work well and will be functioning long after other methods have quit working.

I had problems with hares and rabbits chewing all the tops of my new trees when I started my garden. Someone told me to wrap a piece of aluminium cooking foil around the trunk (you just squeeze it around, it stays on well). I thought this was a joke! Tried it out and never had anymore trouble. They don't like the reflection in the moonlight apparently. Hope this works for you to.

I heard human hair was a good repellant, ask your barber or beautician for some and scatter it around the edge of the garden
