Safe and Humane Rabbit Control

We've had so many rabbits this year, we considered turning the herd in to soccer teams. When the coyote showed up- that cleared the lawn. For a week.  He's gone. They are back.

With veggies about to ripen and a lawn largely eaten, I contacted gardener and award-winning author- illustrator Sharon Lovejoy for her sage advice. 

" I have always sprinkled baby powder on lettuce and other tender plants
loved by rabbits. When I was speaking to a big group in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania, an Amish man told me he ALWAYS sprinkles flour on
his plants. Folks just need to remember to thoroughly rinse them before
eating! I keep a big colander out in the garden and rinse things at a
faucet before taking them indoors to clean them."

Lovejoys cautions, "I don't use a hose to rinse though, because of mold etc."
