A fence 18 inches in the ground and 18 tall has stopped the groundhogs from eating my broccoli. It was work but provides great satisfaction that I stopped them.

I have the issues as The woman above. The ground hogs are the worst because they go underground. Help!

In reply to Dee.

Sorry to hear about your rabbit troubles. I suggest installing a low fence (about 18 inches tall) around your garden bed or even around individual plants. Rabbits can’t hop up over something that tall (they can hop far, but not high) and they can’t climb.

Deer ate the buds off my one azalea this winter, that was a first. It’s the wascally wabbits (Elmer Fudd) and the big, fat groundhog that give me more trouble! The rabbits eat the liatris, new growth on black-eyed susans and this year they have treated me by eating the new buds off some of my roses and new growth off my Autumn Sedum! That was also new. I sprayed Plantskydd which is super expensive but would really love some rabbit proffing suggestions. Thanks!
