I just use fences. Rabbits, in my experience, don't really try too hard to get over them, so even a short one 2' high keeps them out. Aside from that, there's always hasenpfeffer.

All right, all right, I'm a thinkin'! And my head hurts.

Got it! They better say their prayers, the flea-bitten varmints, I'm a-gonna blow 'em to smithereens!

I have seen an indigenous Mountain Cottontail run right thru a "cyclone" fence. He might not have been full grown but he hardly broke his stride! Chicken fencing should work.

A family of owls, mother and 2 babies, showed up in the hay barn one year. A full view of the big veggie garden -- they would sit and watch the rabbits hop by the barn! There was plenty of evidence that the owls were eating mice and doves. Only 1 rabbit hide when I checked the floor of the barn.

There are outfits that sell coyote urine. What must have been coyote poop was in the garden when I got there this year. I haven't seen 1 rabbit so far. Amazing!

I think it was the rabbits which ate the roots off my new roses.
Have not tried it but heard that sprinkling blood meal repels them.

Liquid fence makes a dual action repellant. It's the only non-fence solution I've found. It's 90-95% effective.

Ha ha ha - ZachS and digit!!! Yea, hasenpfeffer's sounding pretty darn good right now >: ^/

I've been covering my two poppies every night until I got the liquid fence - picked that up today. That stuff's not too cheap!! I bought the small bottle to give it a try. If it works, I'll get the bigger one! I saw a few other brands of similar stuff, but have heard of LF before and with Bob's recommendation, thought I'd stick with that.

Before this, I did sprinkle the blood meal around the two plants and my strawberries, but not everywhere as it attracts my dog to it. Had to put up the fence to keep her out of it. I've thought about putting up some chicken wire or other close mesh wire at the base of that to keep the rabbits out, too. Will see how the LF works, and if not, I'll do that.
Otherwise,
