The rabbits and squirrels and moose are always a nuisance here.
I live in a new subdivision that drove all the animals out of the fields and into our yards. Last winter the rabbits ate a lot to the ground, Fortunately most of it suckered. My last neighbour finally agreed to fence so I only had the walkways between the house left. I put 4 foot chicken wire in. Mind you. I've had to dig to lower the snow level a couple of times so they couldn't go over. So far I'm ahead.
But I did tie and wrap all my shrubs and trees with burlap, chicken wire and drainage conduits. I have one spot by the front door that I keep shoveling the snow back onto the stems of my climbing roses. The bunnies try to dig it out every night. I didn't want to have chicken wire at the front door but next fall, Ill make it part of my Christmas décor.
Funny how we love all these animals and want them around.....but they must learn NOT to eat everything. Ha!
