OK OK I know the most popular answer will be: "You can't" but nonetheless: how do we control rabbit ingress? My new employer has about an acre of garden, in which we're about to create a new perennial border. The garden is out in the country, and is bordered on one side by the road and the old (gappy) hedge, and on the other sides by a standard post and rail fence. Across the fence is a big field (10 acres?) which occasionally has a few sheep in, but is mainly used for hay (I think). Rabbits aren't a big pest yet in this garden, but they are around. Is it possible to dissuade them? I was thinking of nailing chicken wire around the entire perimeter. I know that they burrow, but I figured maybe they only do that when there's a vegetable garden to be got at. BTW my employer is currently 'absentee' (working abroad for a few months) and so can't be around to stand duty with a shotgun. Any advice gratefully accepted! Cheers John I use electric rabbit netting. You might find this of interest http://www.agrisellex.co.uk/articles...t-fencing.html David @ a yet again wet side of Swansea Bay |
