THERE'S A WAR GOING ON
Do you like this story?
Here's the Target
How can anything so cute be so destructive ?
Carol at Maydreamsgardens and Mrmcgregorsdaughter along with countless others, I'm sure , are having rabbit problems and have declared war to rid themselves of this garden pest.
I've posted on this before but I think it bears repeating. I designed and planted a beautiful garden for a client ( their first ) and over the winter the rabbits ate it right down to the ground. Hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of plants decimated. So the homeowners and I have tried just about every rabbit repellent in sight until they get the one that works the best : a fence surrounding the entire property.
The two repellents that worked the best are Plantskydd ( blood meal in an oil binder base that adheres to the plants ) and Pro-tec garlic units. Both have websites ( www.plantskydd.com) and www.plantprotec.com ) .
The Plantskydd is very effective but smelly so the first day you spray it better keep your windows closed. The smell will go away in a day or so. The plant pro-tec garlic units are less messy and also effective because they have high concentrations of garlic which rabbit don't like.
The latest gadget in the war on rabbits is a motion detector frog. The frog senses the rabbits approach and starts croaking, presumably scaring off the intruder. It's worth a try at $22. Check it out at The Frogstore. I'm definitely going to recommend this to my client. Hey, in the war against rabbits, every tactic counts.
