It's almost garden time and I'm planning on growing some lettuce this year. However, I'm worried that my local bunnies will think I'm offerring a free buffet. They haven't done anything the last couple years when I've grown tomatoes and peas, but I don't think those are bunnies' favorites. I want to know if someone can recommend me a product that is natural and will just deter the bunnies (and any other hungry critters) from eating all my vegetables.

get a Basset Hound - they love to chase rabbits, they were bred for rabbit hunting, but you dont have to shoot the little critters - but if you have rabbit problem, i'm sure there's a lonely, lovable little basset hound out there who would love to be your buddy!!!

Human hair from the local barber and some frozen pie tins strung to a stick for noise will work for a while...it's up to the rabbits how long. Some of them get pretty fearless.
If you have snails bait them with beer and also side dressing your plants with clean broken eggshells will feel like glass to snails and slugs.

From "Mother Earth News",,,,,,Have a beer party at your home. Have the guys "Pee" into a sprinkling can, spread the liquid around the lettuce. The rabbits smell the human scent and stay away. Unfortuntately you have to do it after each rain or watering. Buy alott of beer.

try feeding them! i tried this and it worked out great. find out where they are coming from, hopefully away from your garden, and put out a supply of food for them. if they have food they wont tend to bother the garden so much. also you can try putting out clippings of human, there has been good success doing this.
