Re: [MittleiderMethodGardening] RE: BEAVERS
One spring the rabbits ate the bark off my 3 year old fruit trees. Ringed
them so they died. The ones that were left I put chicken wire around, close
to the trunks. Thought they were safe. Winter came and went and in the
spring I went out to inspect my trees and--they were ringed too! I had put
the wire too close to the trunks and as the snow piled up, they just stood
on top of the snow and ate above the wire.
When I replanted I made sure I immediately put wire around the trees, far
enough away so that they couldn't stand on the snow, reach over and eat the
bark.
Samala,

We put chicken wire around the bottoms of the tree, all the way around and 3
to 4 feet up. It works for us.
