    Default Rabbit problet in Goleta

    I like animals, but when it comes to nice garden - rabbits are enemies!!! They eat all the grass, they poo and die.. I just tired of it. Can anybody help with the advice, besides buy a fox.

    Unfortunately you are somewhat SOL...

    Elmer Fudd method is usually out due to firearm restrictions and you probably don't want to clean that up afterwards.

    Best solution is not very aesthetically pleasing, and that is to put mesh fences around the plants you do not want them getting to or maybe around the whole garden area. You could make it somewhat aesthetically pleasing by getting mini whitewash fencing put up all around the border of the garden, just make sure it is high enough that they cannot get in.

    Wire mesh is the way to go. There's a lot more rabbits where I come from and it's pretty much impossible to maintain a garden without the mesh. Get the kind that has small spacing on the bottom and increasingly larger spacing as it gets higher up. Keeps stuff out at ground level while allowing greater visibility of your plants near the top.

    Or get a fox.
