Years ago we had a neighbor that had the prettiest vegetable garden. I
noticed several gallon mason jars half full of water placed throughout
the garden. She told me it kept the rabbits out of her garden, and the
field was full of rabbits just barely past the garden. She planted
marigolds and zinnias in an outer row to keep out some pests.

She was not young and I am sure had learned many solutions to problems
such as that since people were raised having to produce their own meals
or go to bed hungry.
