How to Keep Deer & Rabbits Out of the Garden : Natural Pest Control
I don't think these tricks would work for desperately hungry desert rabbits and hanging trash from the trees would ruin the garden aesthetic as far as I'm concerned!

There have been more rabbits around this last week or so. It would appear that the abundant spring foraging out in the desert is coming to an end and that the dry summer months are rapidly approaching, which means plenty of hungry bunnies hopping around and munching on whatever plants are growing in yards around town.

With all the rain we've been getting there should be plenty for rabbits to eat in the months to come. Hopefully they won't be spoiling anyone's gardens for at least until the summer! Of course, a surplus of food could mean a surplus of baby bunnies which could be bad come summer or the next drought, but until then rabbits should be considerably less of a problem. Hopefully.

Rabbit Controls: Controlling bunnies with fences, repellents and other techniques
Rabbits get desperate during the summer! They'll eat just about anything!
For nature-friendly gardeners, the ideal solution to wildlife problems is peaceful coexistence. The challenge with rabbits is to simply keep them from eating the things you don't want them to eat. This requires more brains than brawn. So as with any counterintelligence effort, let's start by getting to know the other guy.

Don't believe everything you read in garden books about rabbit resistant plants. Rabbits get awful hungry during the summer. They'll eat just about anything, even plants that are supposed to be poisonous.
