GM: BK's trick is one used by gardeners alot! Seems to work at least some of the time...human smell tricks the critters. They can get used to it over time, though. Another one I've seen is putting soap (heavy scented like Irish Spring) in the area. Same idea, smell scares the rabbits off.
Also, for rabbit fencing, are you putting it into the ground by at least a foot? I gave up and let the bunnies have my winterberry seedlings. I've got several that grew nice and big (read about 12-15 inches tall- started as 8 inc seedlings) and are now producing flowers/berries (they are a holly - deciduous variety) and so I need to have male and female plants. Worried that the rodents would eat all my males and I'd have no berries! Seems they didn't and I'm going to buy some nice BIG plants to replace the lost ones outside my fence...oh and my fence is a privacy fence, no way it would keep bunnies out! LOL
