Here on the 'Growing Plot.' we have a few bunnies, chances are by next

Bearing in mind we are a charity helping vunderble young adults, whats
a cheap way of keeping the bunnies out.


Pig netting between 4" posts as support and 1" chicken wire to keep the
bunnies out. And a gate in and out of the garden that self closes.

Buried 6" at the bottom seems to work OK for me. Basically they try
somewhere else since there is a whole farmers field to go at.

You have to keep an eye out for breaches but they are fairly rare.
