moonhareOther than a few odds and ends, the garden fence project has been completed. This should secure the area from the rabbits, woodchucks, and deer. Other smaller rodents, and birds, haven’t been as destructive.
Added were an electrified wire above the existing fence, and a mesh barrier behind the electrified wires at the fence base. The top wire is to deter deer; the mesh is to discourage other pests. I also replaced some insulators and tightened up the lower wires where necessary. What is left is to trim back any vegetation and to staple the mesh as needed.
From the Peter Rabbit movie. I used a similar pic in 2019, when I first considered adding the electrified fence.
My first postings about the fence were in August, 2019.
