We have a pretty serious rabbit population out on the farm, probably due in part to declining coyote populations. The garden had always been fenced in, and kept the critters out, but this year they had found a way in. It was time to redo the entire fence. Tracy, Jillian & I ripped out the old fence, retrenched and buried new fencing. As you can see in the photo above, the fence comes out a good half foot and was then buried. This stops the rabbits from burrowing under the fence since they’ll come up to the fence, try to dig down and under, and they’ll hit more fencing.

At the west end we needed to put in corner posts, and boy… digging post holes in hard pan clay is a chore. Jillian and I had a workout taking a rock bar to the post holes so we could get them 20″ or deeper.
