    very true martindow. Grow herbs and feed them to the rabbits, this will make the rabbits taste even better:D

    But no matter how many you eat there are likely to still be rabbits feeding off your garden!

    And you therefore have an inexhaustible supply of cheap meat and no need to use the lawnmower in summer! :D
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Being a little more serious, there is no easy solution and you need to learn to live with them. No doubt there were rabbits there before your garden. I think you have to accept that there will be rabbits and try fencing only areas that really need it rather than the whole garden. I would got for shrubs and robust plants that will survive the nibbling experience, avoid planting out small annuals and let them take their chances.

    I would only fence vegetable plots, but this needs to be done carefully with wire buried in the soil to keep them out. Young fresh growth is the rabbits' favourite food. If they do manage to get in somewhere the fence only keeps them in so they can eat more! Good luck.
