How effective are your netted frames at keeping the vermin out? Got some wholecrop bales that have been well chewed!
Pretty good with rabbits although you have to be disciplined when they are moved in. I use the heap from the side so move it in everytime a row is used. They have about a foot of chicken wire on the grond outwards at the bottom. Some rats in there at present though and I wonder if a rabbit or two hasn't got in lately when it all blew over the other week.

Worth the effort to make them and put them up every year, the rabbits used to play merry hell in there before.

My father always used to say that’s saying.
Have not heard anyone mention it until today 👍🏻 Brought back memories he past away pass the way in 2008 .
I think that I had a post about i last year too. I always think of it on the 2nd of February although I suspect that the half refers to people who keep a lot of stock indoors in the spring and summer
