Rabbits - What's the best way to deal with them?

I was reading something last week for my outside veggie garden.....they said get a old green hose and cut into 2 foot sections and lay them around the garden. The rabbits will think they are snakes and stay away. The other thing i have used, but already mentioned, is go to a barber shop and ask them for the hair clippings and spread them aroung the garden.

I dont think using chicken wire is wise for a gerrilla grow. The least attention drawn the better, right??? Hope this helps!
I do have some spare rubber hose. But actually it is not a gorilla, since it is in my back yard.

I have a 200 foot hill behind my house, 100 feet mine, 100 feet the people on the other street at the top. Nobody ever comes down the hill (they would fall and not be able to get up). On my side I have built a pool & spa halfway up, so I have some steps. There is also a coyote den on the other side of my fence, but my dog got a rabbit a couple of weeks ago, so I know they are there.

I will probably go get some chicken wire and wrap it around my tomato cages to start. And scare the rabbit's with a rubber hose! :mrgreen:

there is a new product out this year called electric fence.. its all organic... i seen it on tv. but can't find the web site.....sorry
I use liquid fence. I keep two spray bottles handy, (used to keep two spray bottles at each sight, not a good idea for a GG though ) one has the anti bla bla bla in it, organic of course, and the other one has the liquid fence, so when ever I go out to visit one of my grows I just bring the bottles and spray. It is part of my regime, so far there really haven't been any problems, well except for that one time. Like a doodoo, I used fish emulsion mix with water and fed my plants, well that was like baiting the critters, but even then, they only dug around my plants, I guess looking for some fish, I replanted the one's I could. Liquid Fence, you can buy the concentrate and dilute yourself. :peace:
More good ideas, Looks good, checked it on the web. :bigjoint:

Rep+ for both of you !

If it isn't exactly stealth, consider putting up a real fence made of T-posts and 2" x 4" wire mesh. Maybe a permanent garden spot? Maybe with tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans included?

I train all those things vertically. With practice nobody will see a pot plant until they can touch it.
