keeping the bunnies out
so the bunnies chewed giant holes through our garden fencing over the winter (only to get into our empty garden, silly rabbits). We want to replace it with something more heavy duty but still something we can step over to easily get into our garden. Any suggestions? We are considering using lattice laid on its side, the holes are small enough to keep the rabbits out and we can still step over it.
also, are the rabbits going to eat my flowers? do they like tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, begonias, etc?

Re: keeping the bunnies out
My Food Blog
bunnies don't like raised beds. I also have rocks around my beds to prevent the bunnies.
The bunnies think my pansies are an all you can eat buffet
Yes, bunnies like these too. The bunnies in my yard ate a salad of hyacinth and crocus last year. Luckily, they waited until after they bloomed to have their snacks.
boo, damn bunnies! we really should just try to get them out of our yard, yet somehow i have an attachment to the bunny babies that appear from under our shed each spring. plus there are so many gaps under our fence it would be hard to keep them totally out.

My mom swears by sprinkling a little cayenne pepper (just the regular stuff out of your spice cabinet) around the border of your beds once a week or so to keep the bunnies out...
This is our first spring here, so I haven't tried this myself yet, but it's cheap and easy enough to try!
I've heard (but not tested the validity of) using urine. As in, spread some pee around the areas you want them to stay out of. I would imagine it would be less "messy" if you could just convince your husband to pee outside at night (assuming this is all in your backyard).
