Rabbit-Resistant Plants & Repellents for 5-Acre Property

Rabbits destroy 1500 sq ft of lawn. Neighbors' plants survive—maybe they use repellents (Liquid Fence, Plantskydd at Lowe's/Home Depot). Effective but pricey; keep kids/pets off treated areas. Your test: rabbits avoid rosemary, sage, geraniums, roses. Expand herb/aromatic plantings. Tree ideas: avoid fruit/nut trees; try ginkgo, bald cypress, river birch.

Fence bottom edge: bury hardware cloth 6 inches. No perfect plant list—pressure varies.
