Rabbits
Rabbits favor tender young growth, which makes seedlings and new transplants especially vulnerable right when they're least able to recover from damage.
Fencing for Small Animals
A simple chicken-wire fence about 2 feet tall, buried a few inches into the ground, keeps rabbits out of most garden beds — they're not jumpers like deer, but they will dig under a fence that doesn't extend below the surface.
Spray as a Backup
Where fencing isn't practical, our Rabbit Repellent spray gives tender greens a taste rabbits won't return for — reapply after rain to keep it effective.
QUICK TIP
Row covers over new seedlings offer the same protection as fencing on a smaller scale, and can come off once plants toughen up.
