Do you have any ideas how to keep a family of rabbits out of my garden. They are destroying the place.
Sorry for the delay in replying!
Rabbits are not a problem I’ve ever had the misfortune of suffering. I do know that they can be devastating to a crop of vegetables though.
Firstly, are you sure that the rabbits aren’t living within your boundaries? Because you could do all you can to proof the boundaries but it’ll be useless if they are already ‘inside’.
From what I gather, the best way to keep rabbits out is by having fencing that goes quite deep into the ground. So, if you can, surround your whole plot with chicken wire type fencing that is buried at least 30cms deep into the ground.
ALSO - when burying the chicken wire fencing, you need to bury it in an “L” shape in the ground, with the the bottom part of the “L” facing away from your plot. This is to stop the rabbits from digging under the fence.
I hope that helps!
