    Hi Nandshyam,

    We get plenty of sunlight in the back and so, it is not a problem atleast for certain plants like I have thulasi & malli(jasmine). Last year, manjal came out finely, but, once winter started, became dry.

    How abt yrs?

    Rgds.

    Hi Puni:

    How about fencing? Maybe with long twigs or mesh wire.

    Here is a site that might help your problem.

    To keep rabbits away from dahlias, use a fence of chicken wire or wood (railroad ties, pressure treated wood, or cedar) around the dahlias. The fence must be firm against the ground, because the rabbits go under the fence rather than above it. A fence a foot high will deter baby rabbits, but one needs a higher fence for adults. Home Depot sells rabbit fence in 28 and 36 inch heights. A 28 inch fence is sufficient to convince most types of adult rabbits to patronize other gourmet restaurants. Use short stakes (bamboo rods about 3 feet tall will work) every 2 p feet along the fence to keep rabbit fence or chicken wire in place. Use twine to tie the chicken wire firmly to the rods near the top and bottom. The twine will last all season. No other approach, including Hinder (an expensive rabbit deterrent), hot pepper and other herbs in sprays (they clog virtually any sprayer), and blood meal has worked. Both rabbit fence and chicken wire work perfectly as long as one is careful about avoiding any gaps near the ground.

    Hope this helps:)
