From the bit of Googling I did, it sounds like a dog or a fence are probably the best options if you’re having a rabbit problem. A couple of folks mentioned that marigolds might help, but that doesn’t seem to be agreed upon at all. :/ A chicken wire fence might be the cheapest/easiest option, tho!

I understand that plants from the mint family keep the deer away, can anyone say anything about keeping rabbits away?

I know that Martha Stewart has some tips on it in her last gardening issue — she’s got an organic garden with something like 50 different types of veggies. It’s amazing! I’ll look it up tonight if I rememberrrrrr.

And garlic will help protect just about any veggie plant (but not so good for potatoes, I’ve heard).
