ok it's obvious this free resource will continue to visit the septic system!

i'd be curious on an update on the liquid fence.

keith, your fishing line fence is similar to something i am considering. i have a 28" tall fence around the garden and there are posts naturally. put a 5' piece of schedule 40 pvc pipe over each post. drill holes into each piece of pipe that will be around the 4' and 7' level off the ground and run rope thru the holes. this would surround the garden and present a barrier where they couldn't step into the garden (the 4' level) and at 7' may discourage them from jumping it tho i have read 8' is probably the highest a fence needs to be as they don't or won't jump higher. it's an expense and will look like crap but it's far less of a cost than an electric fence. if the 4' and 7' isn't working i can drill another hole at 5.5'. anyone ever try this?
