Check agway or others some times they have, they call it dried blood that might work. spread it around your crops

Problem is I have dogs and rabbits even nest in my yard!! Believe me, my boys mark the boundaries.....I put a reinforced fence of chicken wire around the "good" stuff, hope that works, so far so good.

try planting marigolds around your plants or i think they call it wild mint plants. they say rabbits don't like the smell . moth balls but not close to the plants. hot pepper oil to spray on the plants. can be found at agway

Mint, eh??? Funny, I planned on digging some up this weekend from my friends farm, now i know where I'll plant it! I'll edge my garden with it, especially since I put in a bunch of Romaine tonight.....My gardens doing awesome!! Cantalope & watermelon getting big, peppers all budding except the Pablanos, tomatoes flowering and looking great, even the zukes have buds already, corn is about 8" high already, broccoli knee high & getting crowns, just put in a second batch......

i have grown large gardens for many years and yes rabbits will trim the green beans but usually wont touch them once the plants get big, i blamed the bunnies for a long time until one day when i went out to my garden and caught the real culprit in the act....lol
it was one of the fatest groundhogs i had ever seen and the worst part was there was any that weren't any signs of them anywheres close to my garden.
it took me about 2 weeks to finally get a crack at him with the 22 magnum, he was coming from under a building about 100 yards away that was in my neighbors yard' what he didn't plan on though was her giving me permission to set in her pavillion area where she had her cookouts.
it gave me a clear shot at him from the picnic table the second he came out of his hole, needless to saywith my then being 40 yards from him i parted his eyebrow's ;D
man...i would have sworn it was rabbits doing it because there was pellets all through my garden, but once i got him the carnage stopped!
poor bunnies wasn't even at fault, the shame of it is....when hunting season came i still blamed them just for an excuse to put them in the pot

put mothballs near where they get in . also mint plants and marigold plants will keep them away. don't put the mothballs near your plants. at any one time i can see at least 4-6 rabbits in the yard. and all the plants never got taller than 2-3 inch's
