A bit of lead behind their ears stops them ;-) ;-)

Rabbits won't stop eating your plants until they are gone.

Allotment or garden?

1. Encourage Foxes. They like rabbits but are v smelly.
2. Poison. Works well. Block up burrows. Both illegal
3. Sit patiently in the moonlight with Mr Twelve Bore and Ms Dot 22
4. Scarecrows but the rabbits soon get used
5. Borrow Allan's dingo half breed
6. Help establish nesting boxes for birds of prey esp owls together with no Street Lighting after midnight
7. Get some ferret
8. Ask D Trump for help

6, 7 work best

Any idea how high before they stop eating ?
Netting I would assume yes it would have to be buried a bit.

I think with rabbits you have to dig down to put netting round as they burrow underneath. Have you tried growing them in containers up off the ground?

Just net the land off
But with Rabbits where there's a will they will find a way :-( :-(

How can I stop rabbits from eating my seedlings when they start soon ?

Last couple of years they've tried to eat most plants I've put out....often with great success :-)
