Default Rabbits, chewing, and planting saplings

If it's 200 leylandii, I'm rooting for the rabbits here.


LOL, we are out in the sticks, so no one will suffer...

On a more serious
note, chicken wire around should keep them at bay for a while.


Hmm, not sure if I fancy wiring each individually, or 600 feet of
planting, either side, with the netting dug in to stop the buggers
getting under. I was more thinking of those plastic tubes you see when
they plant saplings on motorway verges? Would they work do you know?


The tubes are very good, once again if maintained. Probably better
with chicken wire for such a large area. Why cant you plant some
decent trees by the way, leylandii are a real pain and not much
benefit to wildlife.

Beyond that,
loathe as I am to say it, get a guy in with a shotgun.


I AM a guy with a shotgun, but I am sick of rabbit pie and staying up
all night hunting the things. I don't even like killing them, so would
prefer to protect the trees rather than annihilate all the rabbits
I probably really mean I am a *rap shot, and too sentimental about
bunnies...


Hope you don't use lead shot?

Rather than just protecting the trees themselves, might it be better
to fence off your plot as a whole and kill many birds with one stone?
