Rabbits

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? Chicken wire dug in about 4" at the bottom of the fence works well for me. I did it after they decimated my lettuces one year. 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. Needs to go under the ground so they can't just dig a bit and then squeeze under. They fit comfortably through pig netting. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
