I am sick of defending my garden

[dahamma]

I had 2 rows of peas and an entire row of corn as well as a pile of pepper leaves killed off in my garden. It was either my newborn kittens 8weeks old. My idiot neighbors rabbit that is here 24/7. Or my other idiot neighbor who can't restrain any of his pets. I worked hard on this and am growing weary. What is the best way to keep pests and stupidity from happening in what's left of my pathetic garden. Besides the obvious, like killing everything which I am prepared to do if necsesary. War has been declared, help me

put cayenne pepper all over the ground, if they try to eat your plants le thtem get a mouthful of that.

 

[cbtwohundread]

go get alot of plastic forks pointing up and stick em in the grond around and in your plot also i put cactus around my plants to detur critters

 

[dahamma]

both great suggestions, But I suspect the idiot neighbors rabbit. Any rabbit remedys besides stew meat?

 

[DownOnWax]

Shit, I hear you man!

I am getting bombarded by rabbits eating ALL my beans, corn shoots, maters, etc.

It is hard work and I can't get rid of my pest either, arrrrgh!

I would simply talk to the idiot neighbour.... bunnies are not supposed to be roaming free... I'd bring up the stew thought too.... that should help him prioritise.

 

[breakneck]

M80's and trip-lines??? Hahaha

 

[skiskate]

bunnies are not supposed to be roaming free... .

They arent?

I keed I keed.

Well I put up a steel mesh fence, and bought a can of "critter ridder". It's loaded with black pepper oil, piperine, and capsaicin. It smells like it is hot as hell. As for the neighbor and his rabbit, "that's not my rabbit" was all I got out of him. I know it's his rabbit... bastard

 

[skiskate]

Well if it isnt his rabbit, you ever tried any? Rabbit stew is delicious.

I have a 5' fence up around my garden, but those fucking birds don't quit.

I put up old CD's, and a few of those little bright colored windmills things.

It stopped them for a good 3 weeks. Next thing ya know, I come outside
to water my garden and all of my beans are gone!!!

they had just started to flower too!
they've also eaten about 3 corn plants, they completely ate both of my peanut
plants, and were starting on my onions. I said fuck that. and put up more cds
and windmills. It helped a lot.

I'm waiting for those little bastards to even TRY and touch my tomatoes.
I think Imma end up setting traps and feeding their asses to my husky. she loves
to eat birds and rabbits.

Hey thats an idea. Get a good husky. Because so far mine has caught mice, rabbits,
birds, and lizards. Just make sure the husky stays out of the garden too.

thats the whole reason I put my fence up. good luck.

and there is always cayenne pepper.

Don't over-cook it.

No idea if it works but there is this stuff:

I have a rabbit and I think they make great pets but there's no way I could keep a garden with the little fuzzball hopping around eating up everything in sight.
