What NOT to do on your property![emoji849]

[Fuddy1952]

I had to replace fence on property I bought, fence was 45 years old, woven wire, wooden post every 50ft with 4 T posts between. I just cut wire every wood post, wound rusty wire with barbed wire up throwing into a ditch thinking I'd clean it up someday which was today.
I'll never do that again! I just finished, so tired I can barely type! All overgrown, had to winch everything out. Most wire I'll haul to dump a little at a time, posts on the burn pile. Lesson learned a mess over time can become a nightmare.

Oh my... the classic 'I'll get to that later' or 'aroundtoit' scenario.

Lesson learnt. (until it happens again )

I had a woven wire fence around the garden. After it being there for twenty years I went to remove it. Ha - what a joke. The weeds & grass was so intertwined, tangled & thick. Pulled it out in chunks with a logging chain and the tractor. If there weren't such a fire hazard - I would have burned all around the fence first.

this is what I use on fences!! ---dont care HOW overgrown they are! lol!!


Before MOOSE, I used this little guy,--it too will make short work of fences!
old fences can be a problem to remove.---putting the new one in is easy!

Don't add unnecessary clutter to the landscape. A GF once gathered rocks and proceeded to put them around all manner of things. Cute and well meaning. but Just created a maintenance nightmare.

Good thing is you shouldn't have to worry about that project again..."45 years"

I put up the exact same fence over 20 years ago. There's parts of it in the back corner that I can't even see because of overgrowth. Just as well. I don't go back there much any way. The habitat gives the mountain lions a place to hide.

Whoever has this place after I'm gone will have to deal with it.

Good place to stash trespassers

Yes, my wife likes to use rocks int he tilled garden to mark her veggies and things. I can't quite seem to convey the importance of avoiding that practice, as every rock adds to the number of bolts I shear. Drives me nuts. Rocks are evil.

No rocks/bricks/blocks/logs/etc. here!!!---spent too many years getting rid of that crap!!!
