You’ve gotten rid of bugs that have been keeping your garden from reaching its full potential, however, other critters are getting in the way as well. Rabbits, deer, groundhogs, and other animals seem to think your garden is their personal salad bar.

Here are some strategies from this article to deter them from eating your greens:

1. Choose to grow plants that are rarely eaten.
2. Use repellent sprays that are taste and odor deterrents.
3. Fence the critters out of the planting area.
4. Dig a trench around the perimeter of the garden.
5. Use crop cages around plants.

Although these measures are effective, you have to give it to the animals, it may not be long before they figure another way to get to your plants. You may need to arm yourself with a sense of humor about the whole situation as well.
