The Easter Bunny Is Not So Cute When He’s Eating Your Plants!

With the Easter weekend almost upon us, now is a great time to start talking about rabbit netting.  Yes, bunnies are cute and many of us would like to see these furry friends in our garden if it wasn’t for the fact they have a penchant for plants.  These nocturnal creatures will feed on just about any flowers or plants they can get their paws on, from succulent bedding plants to your prize vegetable patch and once they know the source of fresh greenery is available they are likely to come back time and time again.

So how do you stop rabbits from destroying your garden?

The simple answer is rabbit netting.  Also known as chicken mesh, this product is usually supplied in 30m rolls and can be ordered in various heights – just enough to keep the rabbits at bay but to still ensure you can see and enjoy your borders.  Rabbit mesh can be easily cut to size to protect vulnerable areas of the garden and can be fixed either to existing fencing or wooden posts for added stability.    

Rabbit netting is a lightweight mesh that does not block your view and will move to accommodate the facts that plants will grow over time.  It is a really versatile product that does the trick when it comes to preventing plants from being munched – after all many keen gardeners spend a lot of time and hard earned money on developing and landscaping their gardens so the last thing they will want is to see it destroyed overnight by a brigade of bunnies.

You can use rabbit netting almost anywhere that plants grow and rabbits are prevalent – in the back garden, round the base of a static caravan to protect the plants you might have growing or in the grounds of your commercial property where first impressions count.  It is durable and long lasting but can also be replaced quickly and for minimal cost.

When the Easter bunny visits this weekend make sure he is only bringing your chocolate eggs and not taking something back in return!
