Has anyone tried bar Ivory soap grated up in their flower garden to keep the bunnys away ? Last year I used a deer spray but that became expensive .

Use blood meal. If that doesn't work a pellet gun will get the job done.

He's my favorite gardener (followed closely by Alan Titchmarsh) and he's very into doing things with as few caustic chemicals as possible. I've got a couple of his books and they are WONDERFUL.

A pellet gun isn't caustic. Airwayman

I never said it was

But if one does not own a pellet gun, or cannot buy one in their area, Jerry Baker is then next best weapon.

Of course a .45 would work well, too (might leave a bit of a mess, though)

Thanks Faithmd for the web site info. I check it out.

Mr Airwayman......thanks for your advice but....the big bunnies have little ones, I could never hurt them.

awwww.... just the idea of killing a living creature makes me sad. They are just trying to survive. Yes, the can be a bit of a problem, but remember, we all live on this earth and share it. The best thing to do is something not to harm, but detour.... Here are a few web sites. I hope this helps!

thanks Autumn444 . I'll check them out. I just put out 12 bars of grated up Ivory soap in my flower garden . I'll let you know if that works.

You'll feel different when the little bunnies grow up to be big bunnies and make more little bunnies that will also grow up. As you know, rabbits do two thing well, eat and "make love."

Can I be a bunny?

Yes you can, my dear.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to update everyone on the Ivory soap question. It is working. I only need to put it out every few weeks to keep the bunnies out of my flowers.

When they get used to the soap, try blood meal. They never get used to it says my blonde-wife-the-gardner.

I bought some blood meal last week

My neighbor used sented cat litter around his veg garden and it keeps the rabbits out. My husband uses a pelet gun.
