Rabbits Can No Longer Enter The Orchard. The ugly temporary fences protecting the apples are finally gone...raspberry canes are free to flop around in the fresh air...suffocating chicken wire collars have been removed from all of the fruit trees. We started this particular project last August so feels Good (!) to be done. On a technical note we have buried the rabbit wire about 20mm deep and then 20mm out to stop burrowing under the fences. We also buried wire like this under the gates.
Foxes Will Not Enter The Chookrun. So says the trench digger (moi) and fence builder (he with the new tools). So much energy, effort and time has gone into this project that I will be very affronted if a wily fox thwarts our considerable efforts to thwart him. I wonder how many nights it will take without incident after we get the chooks before I can sleep freely? Again we buried 25mm cage wire down and out in a trench although it was slightly deeper this time as foxes are reputedly wilier than rabbits.
And, finally, No Goblins Shall Enter, or other folk of the Fairy Kingdom, though my girls may have some objections to that one.
