what garden plants do rabbits not like to eat?

Answer 1

marigolds, plant them around your garden.

Answer 2

Hello Zosha, I'm in the countryside but have more trouble with deer than anything else. My cat is a good rabbit deterrent and there's lots of Buzzards. What people keep forgeting is that our gardens must be like drive through restaurants to rabbits! If the rabbits are persistant, remove the plants they like. I'm going to give you a list of plants that I call Rabbit - Resistant.

Agapanthus 'Loch Hope' - Ajuga 'Atropurpurea' - Vinca difformis
Eucalyptus - Rosemary - Choisya ternata - Buddleja davidii
Fatsia japonica - Golden Pampas - Monkshood - Eryngium agavifolium - Alchemilla mollis and Stachys byzantina. These have never been eaten yet. Good luck, x

Answer 3

I had a lot of trouble with rabbits and hares when I started my garden and was told to use aluminium cooking foil (just pull off a small amount and squeeze it around the bark of trees etc).

After much scepticism, I tried it after having the tops removed from all my young trees. Worked a treat, never had to make another wire guard again.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, even surrounding your garden with a thick border of marigolds or other "deterrent" plant will NOT keep rabbits away from the tastier morsels inside.

Put up chicken wire and make it double height.

Most people will not believe me when I say that we watched a determined rabbit CLIMB a single height of chicken wire TWICE !!!! to get inside our garden.

Rabbits are not stupid animals; they will adapt to a situation within limits.

Answer 5

Marigolds flowers are def a good one. If you plany them around your garden it might help fend away those cute little buggers. Also I don't know of many rabbits eating tomatoes - they are very acidy and give those pesky rabiits a tummy ache. I own a nursery and have heard rabbits like most all plants thoguh.

Answer 6

Hi Zosha check this site http://www.complete-gardens.co.uk/online/online-gardening-plant-solutions-category.php?cat=15. Really the only foolproof way to keep rabbits out of the garden is to fence it off with chicken wire and burying it about a foot down so they cant dig under it. cheers

Answer 7

They are all pretty good answer, but I think rabbit like just about anything. What I do in my garden, take 2 aluminum pie plates the kind you get when you purchase pies in the grocery store, they are light weight. poke a hole in them now tie them with string and on a pole about 3 ft. high. you have to make the string long enough so that they will dangle in the wind and bang together, it will make just enough noise and motion to scare the rabbits out of you garden, this also works for birds that are invading your garden also....Good Luck

Answer 8

I don't think there is one, i believe rabbits will eat almost any kind of vegitation. My children had some and they would even nibble on my aloe vera plant. Put some moth balls around your garden, they hate the smell, this even works for snakes too.

Answer 9

Plastic ones.
Plants in pots on very tall shelves.
Plants in greenhouses (as long as the doors are shut).
Plants in parts of the globe where there are no rabbits.
Plants protected by security fences.
Plants protected by Wallace and Grommit's Anti-Pesto company.
Plants out of reach.
Plants out of date.
Plants in out of space.
If it can get to it, then the rabbit will try to eat it!
Try 'Grazers' as an anti-rabbit solution sprayed on the plants, or erect a rabbit proof fence dug into the ground about a foot and three feet tall.

Answer 10

rabbits also don't like begonias but as it not the right season for them or marigolds try using garlic powder or plant garlic plants around the garden my aunt dose this on the family graves in send and ours are the only ones that the rabbits don't touch also they don't like daffodils

Answer 11

try this stuff they extremely artwork. try putting moth balls round and interior the backyard to assist with the deer and rabbits ingesting our vegetation. We placed them interior the rows, between the vegetation and the scent keeps them out of the backyard. at the same time as it rains we ought to placed extra out because the rain dissolves them. Rabbit and deer repellent: blend nicely 2 to three eggs. Pour into it a gallon of water. Spray vegetation. Holds for type of two weeks until eventually rain washes it off. Re-spray as commonly as necessary. Works nicely in Carolina and California. I’ve finished it in both places. Deer and rabbit fence: accessible commercially. it truly is a 6-foot cord that has small mesh at bottom and bigger mesh at correct. power in 10-foot “T” posts with a placed up pounder. connect “deer and rabbit” cord, plus 2 strands of barbless cord at correct to make it 8 ft extreme. This does the trick nicely. 8-foot gates are person-friendly to construct utilising elbows, Ts, pipe and cord.
