Whats best to keep rabbits off??

some of us more rural folk prefer to shoot and eat.

No problem with that but you'd get arrested if you used a gun on our site !

On rural land it is of course a different set of issues and concerns.

However, the OP was asking about control of rabbits on allotments in the City of York.

Bow and arrow - only on a Sunday if you shoot a Scotsman wearing a kilt

You're for the high jump with that too, in any other circumstances 

the vikings swore by them

a bit ott, but i respect your desicion.
i live in the countryside and weapons are used against pests on a daily basis.infact as landowners we have an obligation to keep our land pest free.
as regards pics of an air rifle,i think todays children play far more violent games on their pcs.
netting will be fine in urban areas,but some of us more rural folk prefer to shoot and eat.

Not at all OTT in my opinion, the fact that children play on violent games isnt really applicable on AVG, its not a Call of Duty website after all.

I have no problems personally with shooting pests, but the fact is, the majority of people arent lucky enough to live in a rural area and it wouldnt occur to them that they could get a gun and shoot a pest, never mind that fact that we would get arrested or shot on the spot for possibly being armed and dangerous

So please remember all you lucky rural people..that we cant do that, and some dont want to.. and some even something we dont find palatable in the first place

I have just been out and bought some wire fencing...... hopefully its no too loat to re-plant some of the stuff....

No, it's not too late. I'm way behind this year what with books and so on but there's a lot that will do OK if sown / planted now
