    Oh Monsanto, we love you, we hate you, we can't wait to debate you. Sorry, it's been that kind of day. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. Does anyone know how long we can reasonably expect the poultry netting to last? I've heard various things and I'm sure it depends on how you use it/store...

    That's awesome. I continually put off buying the extra posts as I keep thinking there must be a way I can fix it without the extra expense. Now I know what to do, I am so going to use this.

    I have the same trouble with Premier on flat ground. Fencing just rolls up on the bottom and lays on the ground. I actually have three separate chargers: Intellishock, solar, and the Kobe. Currently I am using the Intellishock but like the Kobe best. Getting ready to set up two more areas. I...

    We not only have to concern ourselves with poultry predators but fence predators! LOL! What a bummer. A friend of mine got a Premier1 on my advice for her geese. What we didn't realize was that the geese would eat the wires when she turned it off to care for them. In that case, it would be...

    That's not good. Sorry to hear it. I've only had one repair I had to do with my Premier 1 but it's under a great big tree that has regularly dropped branches, sometimes on the fence, and I suspect that had something to do with it. It got tired. It was on a 3 yr old section, though, so maybe...

    centrachid, so true, but it will be more than we had before the comparison, which is zero, zip, nada. I've often wondered how the two would compare. Maybe I should replicate and then we will have 2 poorly substantiated opinions. That's the stuff that makes the world go 'round!

    Scatterknit, we have clay soil and it just wasn't too difficult to get into the ground. The grounding stake was a bit difficult! centrachid, that will be a very valuable comparison.

    I've been using 400' of Premier 1 PermaNet for 3 years, move it regularly and it has held up to a lot of abuse. I've heard you can spray Apple Cider Vinegar in place of Round Up. I don't bother we just mow very close to the ground where we place the fencing. We move the fencing enough that...
