    We have an explosion of baby rabbits nibbling the new planted leeks celery and celeriac. I am thinking of using electric fencing like for horses and sheep has anyone else tried this? Does it work?
    I don’t want to kill any of them just stop them digging up and eating the veg and making holes in the compost!!!!

    Chicken wire is best if you have existing fencing to secure it to. I used 900mm wide and folded it at 300mm and bent it at 45 degrees. Fit to the outside of your fencing with the folded part pointing away from your boundary and let grass grow through it. This makes it more difficult for rabbits to burrow under. I have fixed it all around my garden (700 feet of fence) and it works 99% with just a very occasional one getting under the gate.
