I'm curious about using fishing line as a way to keep deer and rabbits away from my garden. How effective is this method? Is it mainly for deer, or does it work for rabbits too? Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Using fishing line as a fence can help, especially if you set it up in a way that looks less inviting to them. Make sure to keep it taut and in multiple lines if you can. For rabbits, a lower line works better than a high one since they’re shorter. Just remember that nothing’s foolproof, so keep an eye on your garden regularly!
Fishing line can be a decent deterrent because it creates an invisible barrier that animals might avoid. Just be careful—there's a chance they could get tangled in it, especially smaller animals like rabbits. It’s really meant to mimic a 3D fence, so ensure you set it up at the right height to cover more ground. Plus, consider combining it with other deterrents for better results!
Yeah, it's good to mix methods! Maybe add some scents that rabbits dislike, like peppermint, alongside the fishing line.
