If you want to keep bunnies out of your garden this year (like I do) try a chemical-free rabbit repellent. Place two cotton balls soaked with white vinegar into empty pill bottles, poke a few holes in the caps and bury halfway in your garden soil. The scent will ward off critters for weeks. Just replace the cotton balls as needed.

Worth a try. Maybe it will ward off chickens, cats and deer too????????

Sounds like a good idea Linda - unless you are growing lettuce and the rabbits like vinegar on their salad...lol

Then I guess I will use the nasty, unhealthy white distilled vinegar

Anyone know how to keep the moles out? Planted a beautiful garden but last fall when we were pulling everything before the frost came, we noticed "something" had eaten many of our carrots from the bottom up....

Sorry, but I don't feel like sharing with "them" this year!

Thanks, Kathy

Ammonia on rags does ward off some critters.. like groundhogs etc... cats are difficult

We were told to keep moles out, one has to get rid of the grubs and things they eat, so again chemicals have to used.

But alas, they will eat your garden before they get to the grubs! :wacko:
