You can buy lion poo, I think. But fencing would be the best idea, if possible. Pigeons are also a menace and eat crops. Good luck!!

Hi Mickmar

To have an allotment without any boundaries could be very difficult as apart from lots of pests such as rabbits etc there can also be the human pests who trample all over your veggies or whatever you are going to grow.

If it was me I would have second thoughts about renting the land, unless of course you haven't anywhere else to grow plants.

Is there a reason you can't put a hedge or a fence up ?

Without a wire rabbit proof fence you're not going to get anything off this allotment, so you need renegotiate or find somewhere else. What a pity.

I think if you managed to get enough fox urine to repel rabbits you would find it difficult to work there as it smells very strong indeed. I wonder if those ultrasonic devices that are supposed to keep cats away would also work on rabbits?

We have a pair of regular fox visitors to our garden, but must say it doesn't stop the rabbits, although the foxes do keep the rabbit population down a bit.
Agree Steragram the smell of fox urine is certainly strong.

Hi there,

are you allowed to use a large polly tunnel?
I'm afraid I agree with the others, unless you can create some physical barrier against wildlife, you will find it almost impossible to grow.
I wish you luck.

Thanks for all your replies. On google - keeping rabbits off allotment - it says fox urine is sold in spray and powder form, but can only find US sites. Just wanted to know if anyone knew if it was sold in the UK. Cant fence allotment off because owner of field does not want it looking like one i.e. no shed, greenhouse, fencing etc

Walk away, Mick. If you don't fence it the rabbits will just ruin all your hard work. It's a non-starter unless you can keep them out. I don't see a poly tunnel will do that - it just sits on the ground and can be a bit "gappy" at the best of times.

Or use our comments to work on the owner of the field.
