    I am setting up a new asparagus bed at my allotment. We have a big rabbit problem at my site so i have fenced some of my vegetable beds to keep the little beasts out. Will they eat my asparagus or am I OK to leave the bed unfenced?
    Thanks

    Hi Beanie welcome to the forum.

    I must say when I saw the title for this thread I just had to have a look to see whats what.

    Wild rabbits are b*ggers nothing is safe in their path if you want to keep your asparagus Beanie your'll have to put some more fences up!

    As for your input Nobby I just creased up with laughter but then I always preferred rabbit stew! :D Hel.xxx.
