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?

You can get plastic coiled protectors.

We found that the plastic spiral protectors are not particularly good
against rabbits, at least not long term. We have an orchard of about
60 trees and, after much trial and error (and rabbit damage), I have
little tubes of plastic perforated fencing around each tree. It takes
a while to do but it seems to be lasting well.


Otherwise, rabbits are excellent in pies and casseroles.

Recipes available.

What for a couple of thousand?! :-)
