I think it would be so much easier -- and easier on the nose -- than spraying gallons of stuff that smells like rotten eggs! (And even that has to be reapplied.) -kris</em> I use cayenne pepper sprinkled on the foliage. Once the blooms show up the rabbits seem to lose interest or maybe there’s better stuff around.
