Everyone in the northeast preparing for the next round?

The overnight snow allowed the rabbits to chew on branches and trunks above the hardware cloth I initially placed around several trees.

I save milk jugs for various uses throughout the season and just split them in half and placed them around trunks/branches to increase the height so the rabbits can’t further chew and girdle the trees.

I was thinking about doing the hardware cloth too. How high do you recommend it, so you don’t have to do the milk jug thing?

Based on NWS reporting we got somewhere in the 16-20” range - that seems about right as I can barely feel my shoulder from shoveling.

Ugh man sorry to hear. Hopefully it's just lactic acid and not some kind of tweak.

I’d shoot for at least 12” above ground level.
Most of my trees have permanent +/- 12” hardware cloth rings and they’ve worked fine. I had to create makeshift barriers last month and again today due to snow buildup.

It’s just weak deltoids - gotta hop on the RFK Jr diet of beef tallow, blue jeans and a side of HGH/TRT to strengthen up.

I just love your dog. The expression on his/her face looks like it’s begging please let me back inside now.

Here in the Northeast, it's the ticks that you have to watch out for. Make no mistake about it, we have spots here where you'll be covered in them in a short time, and one bite is all it takes to change your life and not for the better!

Back to the storm, 18 inches here in Central NJ. Bleh.

It’s amazing no matter how cold it gets they survive.
