The best solution to rabbit damage is a rabbit fence made of chicken wire mesh with 1″ holes. This needs to surround the garden. Height 3’m, buried in the ground in a L-shape to a depth of 6″ and 6″ away from the garden.

Apart from this the only other option is to grow rabbit-proof plants, a list of which is given below. Deterrents only work for a short time.
