A great idea. I have a lot of old tomato cages and lots of bunnies!

Thanks for watching! They will definitely help to keep bunnies from eating your plants. The bunnies are persistent little critters!

This is a great idea! I need to do this. We have herds of rabbits roaming the property.

Thank you! They can certainly do lots of damage.

I use shade cloth over mine to protect plants from a heat wave, works great

@@margaretodamo6784 Hi there! Yes, shade cloth works great too. I use it in several different applications! Thanks for watching!

This was such a simple yet useful project!

Love this! Here I was making it more complicated and looking for lampshade frames or regular wire to bend to a frame. I wasn't thinking as large as yours but it's actually a great size. I may do them in black. thank you!!!!

Hi there! This worked really well and the nice part is, they come in several sizes! I think painted black would be really good and not as noticeable. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you found the video useful!

What a good idea. sure do love that view 😊❤️

I’m glad I came across this idea for an easy, inexpensive cloche. The bunnies are not happy though ☺️ Me too on the view-I’m very grateful for it! ❤️

Thats a good idea! Enjoy watching your videos🙏

Bobbi, that's such a great idea, and you're right about it needing to be functional! I have used tomato cages (yes, they're useless for tomatoes) to wind Christmas lights around as DIY tree decor for my nativity set over the holidays. They also work (upside down) as peony supports. Have a great weekend! ~Margie

Oh wow-the Christmas lights idea is a great one too! I’m sure that is beautiful with your nativity. I will have to remember that about using them for peony supports. I’m getting ready to plant a bunch of peonies! 💚

I love this idea and may try it out next year. Will be a great use for my tomato cages that I probably won't use next year.

It definitely works well to keep the bunnies from eating young, tender plants! Seems like we both have that going on in our gardens 😅

Great idea, thank you!

Great idea for a cloche - now if only I could make something that would keep the slugs out! They have been awful for us this year. April really was such a windy month for us, too. Glad it's calmed down a bit some now 😊

OH NO!!!!. My Gladiator Alliums are just starting to grow and it's my first year. My flower beds are full of rabbit droppings so I need to get going and protect the growth then. I don't have cages/cloches but I will sprinkle them with cinnamon powder. Like you I have chipmunks and squirrels that dig into any freshly planted flowers. To deter them from digging I sprinkle a bit of cinnamon powder and it works. Hope it deters the rabbits too. Thank you for the info.

Good to know about using the cinnamon, thanks for sharing that with us! I know red pepper flakes work but happy to know about the cinnamon! I was very surprised that they munched on my alliums because of the onion smell but they did! I have flower bulbs forming though so I think mine will be ok. Hope the cinnamon works out for you! I’ll sure give it a try in the future!

I feel the need to reply because you mentioned the use of red pepper flakes. Quite a while ago, I read an article from a gardening magazine explaining why the use of red pepper was cruel. Like cats many critters use their front paws across their ears, eyes and face to groom themselves so if their paws come into contact with any pepper it gets into their eyes. This article was written because a woman had used it around the Christmas tree to keep the cat away and the poor cat paid the consequences. I never forgot that story and thought it was important to share it.

@@bettyfreckles yes, that’s very important to share, thank you! We never want to purposely or inadvertently harm critters! I personally do not use this method. I’m sure there have been many different things gardeners have done over the years to deter animals from their gardens. I use poultry wire when I can and Repels All Spray on some things which doesn’t harm animals or humans. Thanks for bringing up this point!
