Rabbit problem, need advice for home made repellent [View all]

Two days ago I planted flowers and veggies. I treated the soil with cow manure after turning the soil.
Planted most veggies in my above ground garden(love it) and planted a ton of Zinnias around parts of the yard. Other veggies along another part of the yard.
I watered then then and did so again yesterday.

Problem this AM. I went to check how things looked and found a ton of the Zinnias pulled up. A neighbor told me it was our local bunny(s). Now what?
Anyone know what I can spread around the plants that will discourage the bunnies without killing the plants?
The garden center sells some kind of repellent but I'd rather not add anything like a commercial product. Googled but found conflicting advice. I just need something I can make that will send these cute creatures to the clover in the yard and not my plants.
I'm in Mass(zone 6) if that makes any difference.
Would love advice ASAP.
