Hi Yolanda - thanks for making the video! I, too have a rabbit issue, and they destroy my hostas like they're in a competition with each other. I like the idea of putting cayenne around the plants, but do you need to reapply after it rains? Or does it still exert an effect? Also, do you dust the leaves also, or stick to the ground? Thanks!

We had rabbits in and around the garden but they weren't really eating anything. But they would be around the peppers and beans a lot. I decided to try this but didn't have a lot of cayenne pepper so I used a little bit of that. The only other big jar I had was chili powder so I used that. The result: Not good. The rabbits loved it. The very next day the peppers and beans were eaten right down to the stalk. can't comment on cayenne but chili powder has the opposite affect. going fencing
