Hi
so excited I have just been given a plot of land to use I was offered one before but it did'nt end up happening and now I definately have a pretty big space to use in a village not far from me, am making a start this weekend.

It is in the countryside really and backs onto fields. The house was an old gatehouse which still belongs to an estate and its my mums friend who lives in it and has done for 27years and still works as a housekeeper for the main house. She has been looking for someone to use her garden for sometime and has said I can do whatever I like with a rather large space.

Its a blank canvas apart from a couple of apple and plum trees but there does seem to be a problem with rabbits and possibly deer just wondered what the best thing to do to protect the produce from the little bliters as im not used to having to deal with them being in a town.

Just gotta work quick now to get the most out of the season any ideas wha tot do first and how to stop the rabbits ?

Congrats on getting the plot,

You'll find some comments on the rabbits / deer question on this thread.

I think it boils down to needing to put fencing or other physical barrier up.

Note to other members - if we can avoid getting into a heated debate on the pro's and con's of the use of guns, that would be appreciated after all the difficulties recent discussions have caused.  Pretty please.

Ta For that,  was a good read Iam thinking it will be easier to bed the fencing into the lawn 9in out rather then dig it downwards if this works its a bit of trial and error I suppose
