Hi there,
I need to install an electric fence around both my chicken run and my garden to keep out the elk, they are about 12-15 ft apart. I'd prefer an AC (plug in) tape style top strand.
Now, I'm pretty sure I've figured out how to set it up BUT I've been told a few times that they won't work around here since the dirt won't ground it properly. Our dirt is mostly red clay and rock, it's also very dry except during the monsoons. (north-central AZ high desert, low alpine).
So my questions are: Is is possible to split the wire to two different fences and is it possible at all with my soil?
Thanks!
