Any suggestions for keeping rabbits out of my garden? After years of having
no problems, they are cleaning me out. Our dog is an inside dog, so that is
not an option. I put chicken wire around the whole garden tonight so we'll
see if that helps. I do have a low wire of my electric fence, but they seem
so slip right under it. Any suggestions? Jerry in southern Indiana

Chicken wire works. Get 3 foot chicken wire and fold the bottom 6" or so
outward at ground line, sort of like a foot. This way, if they come up to the
fence and try to dig under, they hit chicken wire. Also traps and guns, and
outdoor dogs and cats.
