I am intending planting about 200 leylandii saplings, each about 2 foot
tall to delineate a boundary. We have a wild rabbit problem and similar
saplings put in about 4 years ago had the protection of rabbit fencing.
This has been removed now, and already some bark damage is evident to
the original, fairly well established plants. The size of the area makes
control difficult. What is the best means of physically protecting the
new saplings from nibbling damage? As we are talking a couple of hundred
plants cost is a major issue. Thanks.

If it's 200 leylandii, I'm rooting for the rabbits here. On a more serious
note, chicken wire around should keep them at bay for a while.


Chicken wire will keep them at bay for ever if properly maintained,
which isn't too difficult unless you're incredibly lazy.

Beyond that,
loathe as I am to say it, get a guy in with a shotgun.


Which does bugger all for keeping rabbits at bay and merely serves to
keep a deviant with blood lust amused.

You should not encourage deviant activity.

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard ******* when in fact you're
