Is there such a thing as a rabbit friendly weedkiller? I desperately need to kill our weeds but Smudge has free access to the garden. I don't want him poisoned but they have to die! PLEASE help. Thanx.


Sorry - didn't see earlier thread on this subject - tried to delete post but can't.

Yes, I guess I'll have to invest in a blow torch - watch this space :lol: Probably set fire to the whole garden!!

Our garden doesn't have much grass - it's all taken over by dandelions (which is fine for Smudge) and buttercup which isn't. It is COVERED in weeds! The patio is in such a mess we are getting a gardener in to clear it today. There are bushes that have grown together over the steps to the patio so we can't actually access it at the mo. The weeds are waist height!

How big is your garden? Is there no way that you can do some trimming back by hand first? All you need is a pair of gardening gloves, secateurs and then somewhere to put the weeds, like a big bucket. There might be all sorts of valuable wildlife hiding in those weeds, and using chemicals should be considered carefully.
