I heard that garlic also repels bunnies. What about lining the plant hole with dog hair? Do you think that'd keep gophers & voles from chowing down?

I've seen through experience that, if the bunnies & deer are hungry enough, NOTHING is deer/bunny resistant. Irises are supposed to be deer resistant and almost every winter my mom's irises get nommed to nothing because the deer are starving. They even eat the juniper & ceder trees because of the lack of food.

I am absolutely no help with most of these critter problems. I don't have bunnies in my yard any more.. haven't in years & years because my golden chased them all away. He's been gone now 4 years, but they never came back to my yard with all my yummy roses.

I just did some quick research and found this website from Rutgers University. Pretty nifty, if I may say so myself.
