    anyone have a way to keep rabits out of a garden besides putting fencing up? (and besides shooting them) they ate my peas down to nothing!

    I went to a barber and got some hair. It worked pretty well, last year they ate every sunflower I planted this year all are growing and over 3 feet by now. Be sure to spread it around everything and you'll have to put down fresh stuff every week or two. Also heard peppermint oil or red pepper flakes. But the hair worked for me. And I trapped a few and relocated them to my rabbit hunting land.

    Get some metal tea balls, cotton balls and fox urine. Put the fox urine on the cotton balls inside the tea balls. Hang them around the edge of the garden.

    I don't like the look of a fence. We use human hair.
