I'm installing a relatively inexpensive electric fence around my garden space to train the dogs to stay out. They tend to accidentally trample the small plants and like to dig in the soft dirt. I'm using a low-amperage electric fence (pet & child safe) since it's cheaper and easier than putting up a real fence. I think that it will be easier to keep weeded, too, since I can easily run a weed whacker under the fence wire. I already have the fence, [HYPERLINK@www.havahart.com]
My question is about also using it to keep rabbits away. My thought is to add two more strands of wire (besides the one for the dogs). I'd put one strand very near the ground at 2-inches or so and the next strand about 6-inches from the ground. My thought is that the first would be low enough to discourage crawling under, while it and the slightly higher strand would discourage hopping over.
Has anyone ever used electric fence for rabbits? Is my plan reasonable? Any thoughts?
David
