Ok, it has come to putting up a chicken wire fence around my veggies. The
rabbits have left nothing but stems of my green beans. How high, and what
size of chicken wire works best. I have just a small area to surround. ( 10'
x 8' ) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I even tried the hot sauce spray on the leaves and apparently they loved it.

Thanks in Advance, Kathy


Another possibility is to use a tubing bender to create rectangles of
EMT (thinwall electrical tubing) and wire the chicken wire to these
permanently. They can then be picked up and moved without hassle for
weeding, tilling, digging, and other garden work. This is a variation
on what I do for my raised beds, where squirrels and deer the the
primary vermin.
