| What do you do to rabbit-proof your vegetable gardens? I just planted a brand new vegetable garden that I'd like to keep to myself. I see lots of rabbits in our neighborhood (last year they dug a big hole in my roses)and although I've never seen them in our fenced-in backyard, I'm afraid they'll dig under the fence and feast on my veggies. Any suggestions? |

| Rabbit fencing to keep them out of the veggie patch. You may have to bury it down a bit. Some people use chicken wire. |

| I read somewhere once that rabbits don't care for marigolds and they avoid them. You can try planting some around your veggies, it may help. |

| Gotta fence it with chicken wire or something comparable, that the rabbits can't get through, and it has to go down enough to keep them from burrowing under. |

| Anyone have pictures of their rabbit fence? How deep and how tall should it be? |
