In the bun's current run we've meshed the bottom so they can't dig out (it's sat on just grass) but the mesh seemed to kill the grass and so it's now just dusty dirt and hay. We do also put a sheet over the top for shade and to keep the rain off, so there's also a chance the lack of rain/light killed the grass
However, we're currently building them a new setup in our new house. My first idea was to put mesh down under the turf before we laid it, but then a landscaper advised against this as he thought it would negatively impact the drainage and we might end up with a bog.
So, we've laid the turf and the run is almost completely built. It's sat on concrete blocks, but only for stability, the inner area is just grass.
If we lay mesh on top of the grass, has anyone got tips to help keep the grass alive? Did you use wider gauge mesh? I know the buns will devour a lot of it, but so many of you still seem to have grass in the runs, and I need to know your secrets :lol:
