Default securing fence at bottom

"Jerry" wrote in message

I have chicken wire around the garden to keep rabbits out. How do I secure
the bottom so that they can't go under the fence?


Also, how high does the chicken wire have to be to keep them from jumping
over and into the garden?


The following sites will tell you more than you ever need to know about
rabbits proof fencing. The general advice is to bury it a minimum of about
6 inches, but I would prefer 8 inches and that it should be about a yard
high:
