How to Keep the Bunnies from Eating the Beans

I changed my vegetable garden spot this year and

am having trouble with the rabbits or deer eating

the beans.

I planted further from the house and

the critters feel free

to raid my tender bean shoots.

Just look how they nibbled the tops from the bean.

Out of frustration I came up with a fast, easy, inexpensive

solution.

Make a dome to cover the bed.

I needed it to still let in the sunshine and the rain.

So I grabbed the closest thing I had to accomplish the project.

Chicken wire, gloves, and wire nippers.

(I had everything on hand, so off to work I went)

It took less than 10 minutes from start to finish and that included

gathering the materials.

I cut a length of chicken wire 2 foot longer than the bed

and started forming it into the shape I wanted it.

I just stuck the raw edge into the dirt around the beans

and it gave it a dome effect.

It will be easy to remove once the beans

get bigger. The rabbits don’t like them once

they have matured.

It was a quick, simple fix and I

will be rewarded with a bean crop this year.
