If you can take some old sticker bushes and lying around outside of the chicken wire. They won't come near
Wow it’s fantastic
Added benefit…u can easy use those to put up support netting for things like CUTTING FLOWERS…HEHEH
We did a hack job last night. The old owners left a decrepit raised bed (not level, deteriorating wood) that had some pvc hoops. We tied it to the hoops with twine and stapled it to the boards.
Now I need a fast way to cut it off a crappy chicken coop. It's stapled every 2 inches
Mr. Rabbit will burrow under the chicken wire. And can jump over a two feet fence.
Be sure to remove this video when it happen when your first lettuce fully grown.
what about deer.
this is great
wait'll he sees how fast vinyl coated stuff rots out
I did this with my garden this year and my husbands little dog (half boxer half terrier) got under the fence and even lifted up the ground stakes. He trampled half my garden! Any suggestions on a sturdier fence to keep him out? Its time to plant onions and garlic for next year but i'm afraid too cause i don't want him digging them up.
Thanks for the great comments.
@SuperGjose : For slugs, buy those disposable round metal pie pans. Pour some cheap beer in them & place them in your garden. Slugs are attracted to beer. They'll take a bath in it & go to slug heaven. You'll just need to "empty" the pan once in a while & add more beer. It works!
thanks! how about how to have slugs out?
That fence won't keep rabbits out, well not Irish rabbits. Rabbits well come to the fence and burrow under it, that's what they do. The fence has to be buried 15cm (6in) down and 15cm out (in the direction the rabbits are approaching). What will happen is the rabbit will approach the fence and burrow. It will meet the buried wire. End of dinner time for Mr Rabbit.
Just what I was I looking for.
Thanks for the video, David.
it looks easy and even I can do it LOL! How about deers? They can just jump over and have a great meal! Thanks!
