looking good, the new levels seem to have potential to be stable
the salad on the flood plain also looks good, do they mow it and then add moos, or is it moos strait in?
stock fence, even if just for this season does seem a good idea, a moo in the runner beans can be very untidy.
if you shop around online you might get leccy that would do such a short run for about £100
rappa are worth a look, second hand car batteries are cheap as chips or cheaper
someone on ds might have spare kit worth an ask
all of mine, if it is still working, is steering moos(nice sort of pun)
it will teach you quickly to use it without discomfort but it is ace stuff
the beeping dongle to let you know there is an electric field is rather nice, especially in the dark.
wolfie ron decided the back of the barn was haunted so i did not get him one
leccy is probably easiest and cheapest to moo proof the perimeter
tis a short run so making an in depth and in height multi strand rig would be easy and nigh on impenetrable to moo or 2 legged fox
ps a cheapo 12V pv(top up panel for cars etc) and an old battery will do a short run like that easily
you need to keep the salad from shorting the circuit by growing damply onto the wires(cardboard boxes along the wire lines are ace for that and only need adding to every 6 months or so)
a moving fence does not have those issues but a static definitely does
so long as you have a good earthing spike and clip any plants it would be very easy to do and be very functional/cost effective compared to a mechanical barrier
i lived behind electric with a herd of curious and at times bouncy moos around me, that was rather fun, sort of if one is sure it is working |
