Get a dog

Marigolds are about the only thing my rabbits haven't eaten! Ate my mums to the quick, impatiens that I planted in the morning, gone by the afternoon. I put chicken wire around my clematis and somehow, they got in and ate them. I am done with planting anything else!

Nope, rabbits like to nest in the marigold beds at my house.

Not all marigolds actually have the active compounds in them that repel nematodes (and rabbits and other critters). I don’t remember where I was reading, but a lot of bedding marigolds have had the stink bred out of them. That’s not to say that you don’t have the right kind and the rabbits have just decided it works for them, but I would double check what kind you had before totally writing them off.
