Dried chilli flakes and/or hot chilli powder.....once bitten!
you have to keep adding some more when it rains, i think they learn that the smell is painful

And try selecting rabbit proof plants for the garden too - there are lists of them on the internet - just type rabbit proof plants into Google.

Thank you, I have sprinkled dried chilly flakes and put cloves of garlic in the soil by the vulnerable plants. We'll see what happens!
