    Quick and easy electric fence

    So here is a similar version of the tape fence, single strand this time. This one is intended more as crowd control........keeping the birds out of a garden area I don't want them in. In this area I have planted fall crops of lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage...

    Epilogue.....no more losses to that patch of sweet corn or the other one on in there that was a bit larger.

    btw.......this is what happens when an animal encounters a fence of this type. They don't know what it is......are used to slipping through such obstacles all the time........so mostly waltz right into it.......not expecting what is about to happen. They seldom come back for more.

    Quick and easy electric fence

    A few days back I found evidence that the coons had somehow managed to get past my primary electric fence to raid a small patch of sweet corn. No real surprise, as primary fence only surrounds the secondary area on only 3 sides. Fourth side is chain link fence which is primary yard for the...
