Stop throwing away your clear plastic milk jugs and large soda bottles when they’re empty, because they’re ideal for protecting young plants from rabbits. Here’s what you do: cut off the bottom of a jug or bottle, place the top over a plant or two, and pile dirt around the edges.

Only the most intelligent and persistent of rabbits will be able to figure out how to get through or under the jugs. You can water the plant as necessary through the opening at the top. Remember, however, that you’ll have to remove the protective coverings later in the year, or the plants beneath will get overheated and shrivel up.
