What is the best way to keep rabbits out of a vegetable patch?

I have a galvanized wire mesh. Do you guys recommend digging a 30mm trench and burying it, or do we bend it and run it under the fence at ground level for 40cm?

    It`s best to make a fine-meshed grid of metal or plastic. The structure should be at least 3 feet high and - it should be 7 inches underground to prevent hungry rabbits from digging underneath. If you consider an option without a fence, you need to raise the beds above the ground. The next alternative is to deter with loud noises. Hang (especially if there`s a tree nearby) a pair of tin cans connected with wire. Under the influence of wind cans make all sorts of noises - frightened rabbits are unlikely to venture into the danger zone. Also, check out all about rabbits here, which also may be helpful. I really hope it works out!
