I’ve heard marigolds are useful for keeping rabbits away.<<<
Maybe in an area, that has a choice of plants, here they just show up for all 3 meals.
The only thing that has ever worked to chase the rabbits away, was the Dashhound, Snoopy.
I had turned my last few rabbits loose for the summer, and was enjoying having them come to watch me milk and share in the goat food, it did not take Snoopy long to learn that they were
‘family’, and he ignored them.
But we had many a laugh, watching Snoopy run as fast as he could, right past the tame rabbits, to chase a wild one that was as big as he was.
Years ago, it was suggested that you plant empty whiskey bottles, at an angle, so the wind will whistle as it passes the mouth.....again, it only worked to upset Bill, he did not think they added to the fresh garden look, and wanted them to go back to the dump where I found them.
That’s interesting with the bottles. Did it work?
