Our new patio garden is proving very popular. It gets regular visits from a local extended family, who find some of the plants more attractive than others.
I expected to have slug problems, but it never occurred to me that RABBITS would prefer tender new shoots on my plants to the boring green grass in the paddock. But the evidence is there - new growth nipped off (some plants are half the size they were), and even the beginnings of burrowing.
So what can we do? All (sensible) suggestions welcome.
They seem to prefer Trailing Fuscias and Bizzy Lizzies - and of course never go near the Berberis. So perhaps selective planting is the answer, or a thorny hedge round the more succulent plants.
So rabbits beware - or the we may have to resort to one of these options -

We have a "repulsive" product in France, based on Bone Oil (called Dipoil G). Even we find the granules a bit strong (tho not repulsive!). It works with rabbits and hares. Could be available in UK?
Otherwise, it's a Jack Russell!
PS Judith has sent a parcel.
