Consequently, how do I stop my pet rabbit from eating my plants?
The best defense against rabbits is a 3-foot-tall chicken-wire fence (1-inch mesh or smaller) with another 6 inches buried in the soil. Or you can try odor repellents such as blood meal or powdered fox urine (available at your local garden center).
Similarly, it is asked, how do I stop kangaroos from eating my plants?
Trim trees back to reduce shade and sheltered areas. Reduce large, open areas for them to move around in by planting low shrubs. In the remaining open spaces, keep your grass trimmed short to cut down on its grazability. Train motion detecting lights on your garden to discourage nighttime feeding.
Place chicken wire over your beds and bulbs after planting them. Spread some dog or cat hair around as a repellent. Replace it with fresh hair regularly. Sprinkle chicken manure fertilizer on the soil.
