Is there proof that used cat litter will keep "Mr Peter" away? Thanks.

Hi Stacey, There aren't any particular flowers that rabbits won't eat. They'll try anything and nibble at it. Even if they don't like the actual flower head, odds are pretty good they'll eat the leaves of the plant. Try the other suggested methods (read the past comments) to keep them out of the garden, or try some of the suggestions in the above article.

Could you please help me. My mum has a problem with wild rabbits. They are eating the flowers. So what flowers could I use so they won't eat them. Thank you.

Jody, have you tried planting some lavender or catnip around your crops? Rabbits don't like the smell of these herbs. Some people also spread used cat litter around their plants, but if you are growing food crops this isn't a good idea.

A recipe listed on the University of North Dakota Extension Office site is to mix 85 percent raw linseed oil with five percent detergent and 10 percent water. Spray this on your plants and reapply frequently and after rain.

I was hoping to find advice/home remedity to mix up a rabbit repellent. I have lost a lot of crops due to these @#*& things. Any advice to make them think a homemade solution is a coyotes presence?
