The sight of rabbits hopping across the lawn can bring the peace of country living to mind. But when you see rabbits in your vegetable garden snacking on your tender plants, it’s time to take preventive action. These hints will help you keep varmints from devouring your produce. Believe it or not, you can fence out rabbits by using chicken wire. Bury the chicken wire in the ground so rabbits can’t burrow under. For melons, it’s a good idea to place an old plate or a discarded aluminum foil container under developing melons, so that nothing can tunnel up and chew the underside of the fruit. By being on your guard, the first one to take a bite of your veggies will be you!
