    Wild rabbits eating flowers
    How do I discourage the rabbits from coming into my unfenced yard and digging and eating my plants. I'm in an area which won't allow me to trap or dispose of them.

    This is the only thing I could come up with

    How to Make Natural Rabbit and Deer Repellent | eHow.com

    Crack two large eggs into a 4-cup measuring
    Cup or container.
    Beat well. We are lucky enough to have laying hens, but any large eggs will do.

    Step
    2 Add two drops of natural dish detergent and mix. Natural dish detergent is best for the environment, but if you don't have any on hand any dish soap will work. This will keep the solution from sticking in the sprayer and provide for a more even spreading solution.

    Step
    3 Add water to the mixture filling to 3/4 of the cup. Add ground cayenne, and continue to fill until the mixture is one inch below the 4 cup line.
    Mix well to make sure the cayenne is evenly distributed.

    Step
    4 Fill the container of an end-hose sprayer 3/4 full with the solution and begin spraying all of the plants you want to deter deer and rabbits from eating.

    A 'noisy' scare cow and some wind chimes might help too

    I'm not a good gardener, but the ones I know tell me that planting marigolds around your property discourages them. If you don't have a perimeter you could plant them with your other plants.
