Will This Handle Our Rocky Terrain!?...We Bought A Titan PGD1032H Gas Powered Post Driver

1st!

I believe deer can jump/leap 10 feet fencing. Good luck! I am rooting for you to start the garden of your dreams!

Defend your space you need, not the property. Single wire electric fence done right will deter the deer. Keep in mind pack rats like plants for bedding. Notice you don't have your hoods up on your vehicles. They love hood liners. LOL!

No!! No hunting rabbits. They are too cute 😊

Great job. Your almost ready for winter. We just th ave to wait for your garden to grow. I am so looking forward to this.

I agree the rabbits need to go. I hear rabbit stew is good!😁😋😊

Kacie is see your leg healed good. I have problem with birds and green beans. So, i use a bird netting now. Starting seeds in cups and trays they get root bound easily. If you start early use a bigger tray it helps. (future reference) Work on the house and grounds coming along great.

I finally gave in and put in 10 ft t-posts and that worked for me. They are pounded in around 2.5 to 3 feet so the fence is about 7 feet tall finished. Yes it was a huge amount of work and required a ladder to get up high enough to pound in, but worth it. Especially with chronic wasting disease I don't want deer anywhere near my food. I've seen videos where deer jumped 10 ft fences but they had a large area for a landing site. They won't jump that high if they can't see a clear space to land, they might try to tear it down though in a drought. I had a bunch of short posts already so I did a 10 foot post every 10 feet with a short one in-between. For wire I used 6 ft chicken wire on the lower portion. I left about a foot of the chicken wire laying flat at the bottom and held it down with rocks to keep critters from going under. I expected coyotes and such to try to dig under but that never happened. Then I put single wire up to the top. 12 inch spacing would be fine. The main thing is that top wire is up high. I see deer looking longingly through the fence but have never had one try to jump over. I've only had one rabbit who found a way to get under but I found where it was getting in and added more rocks. The critters it won't keep out. Snakes, pocket gophers, racoons, skunks, porcupines and grasshoppers. The hard part is a gate where critters can't get under or over. The best gate I've made so far is the same height as the fence. It has a 2 x 4 frame similar to a door, attached to 4x4 posts. Then I put large rocks as flat as I could find, in the ground under the gate to where it almost touches the bottom of the gate.

Marigolds are about the only thing the rabbits haven't eaten! They even ate a dwarf sunflower and morning glories. Thankfully I don't 😮have a lot of deer but the birds like the strawberries. Your property is looking good!!

You will get better at it.

Electric fencing. You need a few more wires down lower. Deer will rush under the fence

Guys what you two are doing is amazing, because your showing the truth about living in the wild. However you really need to get some microphones when you our on the plains or in the forest, because your really hard to hear above the wind.
But the garden is really starting to come together 😊. Keep it up as your journey is really fun to watch 😊.

What about rabbits??

Your soil is much like mine. The T post spades are really unnecessary, and the posts go deeper and are just as stable without them. I cut them off with grinder and cut off wheel.
