Grow Your Own Magazine

can anyone suggest plants that rabbits don't like to eat? Everytime I put something in either a rabbit or a squirrel or something eats it

only thing i can think of is a shotgun lol

Yeah but that is really cruel, a farmer offered to do the dirty deed last year and I wasn't happy about it but he had a freezer full in the end. Just wondered if they dislike anything so I don't feel bad this time. Live n let live after all!

best thing is chicken wire.

You either have to shoot them, or fence them out. You can't garden successfully with rabbits. There's not much they won't eat. And they breed like - well - rabbits.

I got a book from the Library about perennial plants and in one of the chapters there was a whole page of what you could grow that rabbits wouldn't eat. I wish I could remember the name of the book, but it might be worth while having a look for it in your local library SP.

As Alice says fencing them out is really the only option, which I have managed to do successfully.

I got this book a couple of weeeks ago

Amazon.co.uk: gardening with the enemy

lots of supposedly rabbit proof plants listed.. not as much use to me as I'd hoped as i wanted it for my plot where flowers are a nice bonus (actually anything is a nice bonus currently as still nettle clearing, but planning a cutting patch in the fullness of time) and I haven't tested any of them out yet but might be a worthwhile investment

Thanx guys, will read up as much as I can. But never give up!
