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

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
