    Every morning I patrol my garden to survey the overnight bunny damage. Every morning there's a hole, plant missing or a plant chewed to bits. 5 weeks ago I treated the whole garden to a feed of blood fish and bones.... and we were rabbit free for a few days. I've just done it again .... and no rabbit damage for two mornings on the trot. Is this a coincidence or have I found magic cure?

      Either the pungent smell is driving them away, or they think they've discovered where the local fox keeps the recent kills!
      Jeyes fluid keeps me cat free in the garden for best part of a week, I'll try with BFB. Might as well feed at the same time as picking up after next doors kitty:poo:

      As a side note, bunny droppings is one of the best natural composts there is
