Re: Lawn Eating Rabbits.

Here in New England, bare spots in lawns are often caused by large rocks
under the spots.  This is an annually recurring problem, as the rocks
are slowly brought to the surface by the frosts each winter.

We "harvest" quite a few each spring, and have used them to edge our
flower beds.  The technique is to probe with a three foot pry bar, and
work them out.  The rock is replaced with a peat_moss/loam mixture, and
the grass grows in from the sides quite nicely.
