That's a good question friend, maybe someone else will know. The only thing I know is to use repellents.

Rabbit repellents work by releasing a scent that rabbits find repulsive (often dried blood or garlic oil) or making plants taste bad (hot pepper or dried blood sprays). Flavor-based repellents are usually more effective. Just be sure to follow instructions carefully, especially as it relates to reapplying after rain. Google

Male urine is a good, cheap repellent for most things, I would guess rabbits as well.

Rhubarb is fatal to rabbits. If you can mix it in your cover crop you have a great deterrent. Also, I have found that cereal rye such as Elbon, (not ryegrass), doesn't seem to be bothered much by rabbits. I can't say it is a deterrent but can say it seems to help reduce damage from rabbits.

I took care of the problem for now. Just a basic trap. I am rabbit free for about 30 days
