Or go cheaper and just buy a big bottle of Cayanne pepper powder, sprinkle it on the ground heavy. But not right next to the plants. Do it after every rain. It'll be cheaper.Try a pepper spray... they have it at home depot.
You could have looked this up yourself dude.
Install commercial wire tomato cages around each tomato plant as soon as you plant it. If you're growing bush tomatoes, you can use the shorter cages. For taller tomato vines, choose cages that are at least 5 feet high.
Wrap the bottom half of your tomato cages in chicken wire. This will help keep foraging animals, such as geese, rabbits and chickens, from pecking through the narrow cage wires.

Was going to say that.I've heard planting rings of marigolds around them will help keep em away. Supposedly they don't like em. Tightly packed though.
Which reminds me, the clever British don't plant lavender all the way around their gardens for nothing, although they are pretty at certain times of the year.I left a couple big patches of lettuce and spinach for them to munch on and they're ignoring that and eating my fucking tomato plants... All that was left of a couple were the stem.
Anyone got any ideas on how to deal with these rabbits... poisoned hamburger, land mines, what's a good way to get rid of these bastards. I noticed there were baby rabbits around when I mowed for the first time this year and now I regret not chopping their bastard offspring up with the mower.
Yes. Lay a fence by inserting 4' deep concrete slabs held together in h-beams with insets for attaching 7' high stainless steel rods with hardware cloth from slab to top. What the rabbits won't get, the deer won't get, either. If you want full garden protection, mesh the top to keep the birds out over beams suspended from the 7' high poles by steel beams.
When you have to set up an armed camp, it appears to me that it would simpler, and more cost-effective, to buy these items at the store.
One thing we do here...the bunnies and the deer don't like strong-smelling herbs. And, fresh herbs are always pleasant for cooking. If they're eating the other stuff, plant stuff they don't eat. Sage, oregano, thyme, basil, chives, etc...most rabbits won't eat that stuff.

I just threw a bunch of diluted piss water on the garden, that should keep them away plus it fertilizes at the same time. Problem solved hopefully, I'll let you know tomorrow if they ate anymore of my tomatoes.
Dried blood along with the fence everybody is suggesting should help the situation.

Dried Blood Repellent for Deer and Rabbits
Dried blood should be available at your local garden store. It is a biproduct of cattle beef processing. It comes in a powdered form and is effective for discouraging deer and rabbits from eating your plants.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dried blood
2 gallons warm water
Direcctions:
In a large bucket, combine dried blood and water until dried blood is disolved. Apply using a spray bottle or garden sprayer.
Caution: Use this solution sparingly. The nitrogen in the dried blood may burn your plants if it gets too concentrated. You can also try sprinkling a little dried blood mixed with bonemeal around threatened plants.

I've thought of the ultimate solution, I need to cage those bunnies up and let them create rabbit poop to fertilize the garden with.

That would be good restitution for sure, but I think an overnight soak in sprite, and a swim in the frying pan sounds better.
