In winter, hares may begin to gnaw at the bottom of the tree, stripping off a large amount of bark.
Mice can also do this – your garden needs protection in any case.
There are several ways to help get rid of the problem and protect your plantings.
Let us pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to protect your garden from hares
These are the methods.
- Reliable fencing of the area. Rarely will a hare be able and try to overcome a fence higher than 1.5 meters.
- Metal and plastic mesh. A simple but effective way to protect a tree from rodents.
- Spruce and pine branches. The spruce branches allow air to pass through well, and the needles prevent hares from getting through.
- Rosehip branches. A good alternative to spruce branches.
- Plastic bottles. Tie the bottle halves with tape so that they protect the trunk around it.
- Newspapers. Make several layers.
- Nylon tights. They can also be coated with repellent odors.
- Add unpleasant odors. For example, rabbits do not like the smell of wormwood.
- Sound repeller. You can use an ordinary bell.
