No kidding! What's better than fresh produce to a bunny, except maybe brand-new seedlings? Or alfalfa pellets. Can't help but think I'd just be inviting them to stay around instead of discouraging them.
I deployed a scent deterrent product today called Animal B Gon, made of herbs and egg whites. It is supposedly targeted specially for rabbits and deer. We shall see. It sure smelled fantastic, rosemary, cinnamon, mint and chamomile amongst other herbs. Guess I need to get cookin' and make some of my own so I don't have to keep spending $14 for a container that might last a couple more applications.
After more research, it does seem as if the long-term solution is chicken wire fencing attached to the existing picket fence. I'm going to have to apply for another grant to pay for it.
