Garden being overrun with rabbits. Not long moved here and had problems
getting anything to establish due to wind. Took advice and have planted
beech, juniper, heather and holly.

Were growing away nicely and now holly all nipped off at base, same
with young beech. Heather been 'trimmed' back to about 2" high. Juniper
ok but I'd like a bit of variety.

Any ideas?


I was once advised that the only way to stop them is to rabbit-proof the
entire garden. We have done that slowly over a few years and we have over
an acre. The only ones we get now are the occasional young one brought in by
the cats, or the odd one which can find its way across the bridge over the
steam.

It can be done; take your time if you need and bury the netting and take it
out in an L shape from your garden so that the rabbits can't dig under.
