Springtime around ISM means it’s time to start our community garden. If your school has a garden, it might also have some native wildlife. Here in our patch, we have a few bunnies and a groundhog we’ve lovingly nicknamed “Tubby.” But, as much as we love to see them visit, we’re not huge fans of what they do to our vegetable garden—especially our bunny friends.
Getting rid of bunnies doesn’t have to done with physical removal, chemicals, or costly infrastructures. Here is what Huffpost Green suggests as organic, kind ways to keep them from munching on your newly sprouting greens.
“Rabbits love vegetable gardens, especially your leafy greens. The best defense is to build a chicken wire fence around your garden, at least 2 feet high. Make sure to bury it as well—at least a foot deep if you can (though less will work), as rabbits are more likely to go under the fence than over. Interestingly enough, human hair scattered around the garden is an effective rabbit repellent, and eventually becomes a nice fertilizer. This can easily be obtained from local salons.”
