Hi guys! I'm an allotment newby - got my first plot a few months ago and have just started planting out my seedlings and plug plants.

I've had terrible luck with, what I can only assume is, rabbits eating absolutely everything. They have even dug down to the roots of the rhubarb I planted in December which had just started to flourish.

So I'm looking to put up a fence around my plot to keep out the rabbits, but I have also read a bit about rats - are they also a problem on allotments and should I consider putting up a fence that will help to keep out the rats as well? I have read rodent fences need to be smaller holes and stronger wires.

All input and advice appreciated, thank you!
