Ok so I know what I want to plan in the rest of the garden and the rabbits will get greens from the plants there that are safe for them but I'm going to have a 10' x 6' raised box just for the rabbits. I'm in the north and our growing season is short so I have to think about over wintering. I'd love to not have to buy pellets at all but I'm not that optimistic.
Only 3-4 rabbits will over winter in the garage.
I'd thought of doing a row of sunflowers, some alfalfa, some Timothy, and I think rye or barley were on my list but I can't find it right now (my list). However,I was wondering if anyone had there own suggestions for the plot.
Also, I've heard of some people storing grass clippings, we have an acre, could I collect the clippings, dry them and store them for the winter? Is there any weeds I should be wary of or keep an eye out for?
Side note: is anyone familiar with panicum virgatum (switchgrass). I have a ton of it growing in an untreated field next to my house.
Thanks everyone!
