A skirt of spiny twigs spread around your mesh tubes might well discourage scratching and burrowing. Rabbits are often discouraged by a mop of long grass around newly established plants. It's untidy gardening but really does make a difference.

Best of luck with your cages. In Australia a few brought in for sport grew to plague proportions in the eastern states. A fence was built north to south across the continent to keep them out of Western Australia. No problem said the rabbits, they just went underneath. The only partial cure has been myxomatosis but I would not recommend that in your case.

That's right. You live in "The Big Country", just like the movie. I had no idea rabbits could be a problem there.

The squirrels do alright because they can climb the Live Oaks and find shelter from them. They keep the Oaks well planted so it's a symbiotic thing going on here with them.

I also had a pest problem last year. In my case it was feral cats though. Built a cage using some 1x1 beams and a chicken wire. Not for the affected objects, but to catch the cats. I've filed a thick piece of sheet metal I found in the storage in to a trigger and two locks for the door. Originally I prepped it for an auto triggering mechanism, but eventually I tripped it by hand using a vantage point and a long string. It worked like a charm and the cats were relocated. It took surprisingly lot of work to make the whole thing work properly though. Lots of testing. First the locks won't lock, then they were locking too much, the trigger was too hard, then too soft, took me all evening to tune the thing.

2 years ago, we gave our daughter and son in law our old house. For the past 15 years, the wife and I have had some really well producing gardens, a very productive chicken coop, and an almost healthy lawn through the Texas heat and drought. Our land was only 3/4 of an acre. When the kids moved in, they tried their best to keep the garden up but didn't really like all of my fences. So they took them out. Then they got some rabbits... the cute fuzzy kind that the kids raise for the FFA (meat rabbits). Well they learned pretty fast why I had all of the fences up, because between the rabbits, the chickens and now their ducks... they had no garden or yard left. Unlike us, they will likely never have a slaughter day, where meat goes in the freezer. They have a lot of cute pets.

Here in Australia, rabbits were imported to give an early settler some ‘sport’. Well, those rabbits did what rabbits do best, and very soon there were millions of them. They reduced whole verdant farms to bare earth, and the government constructed a fence to keep them out of productive farms, and that fence went for about 2,500 miles across the continent. So rabbits were what you feed to the farm’s dogs. They came in handy during the Great Depression, when blokes would go out trapping them to sell to other folks who were ‘doing it tough.’

My poor mother used to keep up all the flower beds in the yard and every year there would be some loss to Rabbits. Our neighbor told her to add some Salvia plants to the mix and it would keep the Rabbits at bay, because Rabbits don't like Salvia. Well she did that, worked three solid days refreshing the flower beds and mulch and every fourth plant was Salvia. It did work, sort of, the Rabbits didn't like the Salvia , but boy did they like everything else, they ate everything down to the ground, except the Salvia. Later a family of Bobcats moved into the neighborhood and put the Kibosh on the Rabbit population which mother didn't mind at all.

When I lived in the UK in South Benfleet backing on to ancient woodland, we had a lot of badgers that would come visit. In fact our neighbour used to feed them just after dark, and there were as many as twenty would turn up. I remember a fox join the party one night. It remained outside the badgers, and eventually darted in, grabbed some food and ran off with it. My two cats would sit just away from the badgers enjoying the show. Anyway, the badgers had their paths, and nothing would dissuade them from taking it. We could hear them smashing through the fence I'd fixed the day before, and exit under the fence at the end of the garden. I had to resort to similar measures to yours to stop them, but the mesh did the job. BTW. a house about 200 metres up the hill from me was on the TV one night in a show called Badger Watch. They said they were keeping the location secret, but everyone knew about the badgers near Mount Road. I live in New Zealand now, and only have possums and hedgehogs to deal with.

Hi Dave. I spent many years establishing trees in dry stony ground that was infested with rabbits in the South Island of New Zealand. Rabbits were introduced by early settlers here and quickly reached epidemic proportions. They have been the source of economic ruin here ever since. This has been my experience: You are on the right track with the netting. I would suggest twitching the stakes to the netting with a bit of lacing wire. I always used full width netting as we also had hares which could easily strip bark 3 feet above the ground Plant the trees at least a couple of inches below the ground level so when you water them the water will pool and soak in rather that run off. You can also use natural run off to channel water from roofs and water courses to the hollows where the trees are planted. Young trees don't compete well with grass and weeds. I am not sure on your views on spray but that is very effective to create a clear ring of a couple of feet around each tree. The other option is to use a mulch of some description. I have used cut up woollen carpet, straw, compost, leaf litter and flat stones. Large flat stones are amongst the best as they dont blow away and protect the soil underneath from the worst of the heat and evaporation. They are great for weighing down mulch as well. Most of the trees I planted survived just on natural rainfall with very little or no watering. I hope this may be of some help. I do enjoy your channel and always look foward to learning something new each week. Cheers.

Of the ones planted on the upper half, only one survived, but it got big enough we had to take it into account when we replaced the deck. The two down below, while they never died, they never saw any reason to move beyond the seedling stage. We should have dug them out and sold them to a bonsai enthusiast! In the end, circumstances compelled us to sell... and the new owners made a blank slate of the property before building anew.
