Reply:Charlotte,





DO NOT use moth balls! they are poisonous to cats, dogs, many other animals and birds.





plant marigolds. rabbits hate the smell and won't go near them generally.
Reply:*Yellow Marigolds~marigolds are hearty, and can be used as a natural deterent for pests in the garden.I use these in my garden and in all flower beds and are they are able to keep my flowers pest free. They also keep rabbits and other smaller pests out of your garden. They bloom a bright yellow, and are very hearty.
Reply:Get pa to sit out there with a shotgun should teach them! haha or you could put some chicken wire in the shape of a dome over them. Either should work :P
Reply:place a small fence around them.





thats about it. elephant ear is also known as Tarot root and is sold in grocery stores, so people like to eat it too!!!
Reply:Start eating the rabbits! Or maybe getting a dog might help. Actually, the method suggested by "Urbanbul" is used successfully in Australian semi-urban gardens.
Reply:Try moth balls around the plant not many.
