I have got some debris netting and wooden stakes to support it, any suggestions of how to pin it into the soil??

tent pegs or split bamboo.

I use thick galvanised garden wire from B & Q.

Cheap & you can cut it to any length to suit.

I like the look of my lottie neighbour's combined anti -rabbit and -pigeon fortifications, 2 ft high chain link with netting tied over the top, supported at intervals in the middle with I think it was plastic bottles on canes, but I was too busy and in too much of a hurry to really look. :oops:
