| Re: Rabbit control
If I had come accross this thread a few years ago I would have thought...whats all the fuss about?.....but now I know !!!........
Life in the garden is a daily battle against these nocturnal herbaceous border eaters!.......well any plant that I hold dear. They are wilful in their damage, chopping off plants at their base with not intention of eating them. A morning stroll in the garden would be greeted by scenes of plants dis-embowled, the healthy parts lying a few feet away from their stem.
One rabbit actually had its young in its drey? just 10 feet from my front door......how did I not notice? because baby rabbits only get visited by their mums once in 24 hrs...at night and don't make a sound unless being gobbled up by my dogs ( accidental I assure ).
I have chicken wired 1/4 acre of my garden so far, but only wioth 50% success, they always find some way to defeat my defences.
A cull may be the only way......sonic machines don't work either ( for me ) I do not like rabbits one bit anymore!!
One thing that has worked, I've planted all new shrubs etc with Tubex surrounding the stems.....it will make the plants leggy but I do actually have some plants!!!!  |
