Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Hi,

I am new. I am a small farmer in CT raising grassfed beef. poultry for
meat and eggs, veggies and fruit. All is non-certified organic.

We had a bad rabbit problem last year and I want to create a barrier
this year.

I have read the usual about poultry netting down 6', out 6' and up a
foot or so. But so far as I can learn galvanized poultry net rots in
about 2 years and hardware cloth in 4. It would be a lot of work to
replace it for a 100' X 100' garden. I believe that rabbits will chew
through plastic net. So what solutions?

I wonder whether coated netting lasts a lot longer.

My favorite idea is to fill the trench with stone with a small amount of
soil to hold it in place. Anyone have experience with this? Thoughts
on size stone and size of the trench?

Any other ideas?
