Your idea using the snow marker poles is brilliant

@jadesumsion 2 жыл бұрын

After seeing posts at our local farm store for $5 each I thought about the snow stakes. Fiberglass …. Then I went to you tube. Glad you posted the video. Makes so much sense. (Cents)😜. They have went up a little on Amazon now. Trying to keep pigs in. This will be perfect. Great video. I’m running with it.

I bought the same fiberglass posts and instead of drilling them I used electric tape to attach them. I wrap a loop around the post then tape it every 3-5 posts(not every single one) so far it’s working great. It’s really easy to undo and it doesn’t mess with the integrity of your post. Thanks for sharing

This is awesome. I've seen your three videos on this. The fiberglass poles are up to $2.19 at TSC so these are cheap and easy to use. And yes you have inspired me for a fence that needs to be built for cheap.

With a good wire loop/wrap you won't have to drill press. just wrap the wire tightly... if you find it's slipping, 3-5 wraps of duck tape under the wire will give enough "smoosh" to let the wire dig in and not slip. much less labor intensive.

That was a great video ! Those were the ones I was going to buy, so glad you are sharing this with everyone. I do have a recommendation for the swampy area if you haven’t done anything to it yet. I live in Hawaii up high in the mountain and it is swampy and wet. The only nitrogen fixer that does well is birdsfoot trefoil. It loves waterlogged soil. I just seeded a few acres and it is coming up great. Its perennial , adds nitrogen and excellent quality feed and does not cause bloating. I will absolutely be buying these. I am fencing 10 more acres and wanted to add some electric fence to do intensive grazing. Thanks again

You need to make your middle wire a ground so the fence will still shock the animals in dry conditions. Keep the dirt around your ground rod wet during the dry season so you have a hotter spark.

@rebeccarosen1966 Жыл бұрын

This is great! Maybe a silly question but is this electric fence, or just the wire with no electricity? I have two highlands, they are pretty mellow and I want to rotate them to the back paddock, they have never been exposed to wire fencing with or without electricity, would this work for them do you think? Don't want electric because my two Mastiff's will never go in the back pasture if they get zapped. Just looking for something for the summer months, temporary and inexpensive. Thx.

Use 12" chunks of black potable-water 3/4" pipe, put a nail through each end with wire inside, make nail-end into hook shape, it's a fence handle

15:03 It’s not necessarily the lushness of the grass. Protein does play a role in animal health but many people think if they raise the protein content of the forage ( by fertilizing with synthetic nitrogen) then they will get more and higher quality yields. This is a dangerous fallacy . Always remember it’s the balance of nutrients that matters. A diversity of plants is the easiest way to encourage nutrient balance in the animals, microbial populations, and mineral nutrients in the forage.

@TS-vr9of 3 жыл бұрын

You should look up some presentations or interviews with Dr. Christine Jones she’s a soil biologist who originally set out to improve fleece quality of sheep. You are right that the quality of the fiber depends on the forage quality. Most important mineral for plant and animal health is calcium. With abundance calcium cows can even get fat off of standing stockpile and hay. With abundant calcium plants make calcium Pectate, when it’s in short supply they make magnesium pectate. With out getting to much into weeds I just want to encourage you to keep learning about plant and soil health. I think your doing great, keep up the good work.

@TS-vr9of 3 жыл бұрын

Oh here are few great books that that will help you along the way, they’re on audible as well.“The soil owners Manuel” by Jon Stika is a great introduction into the basics of how soil, plants, and soil life work together. “For the love of soil” by Nicole masters is another great resource. Nicole is soil scientist and consultant and she share some of her experiences and knowledge of how to restore degraded landscapes, farms and ranches of any scale. Microbial inoculations, and biology friendly fertilizer recommendations are included. Last one is “From dirt to soil” by Gabe Brown.

Debbie, no ma’am this is for cross-fencing temporary paddocks so you can move the mob frequently to new grass away from stool and flies, and let the grazed paddock recover. For perimeter fence you need a permanent fence to keep them inside your property.

Building community of friends is the key to surviving. Get out of the mentality to own everything. That's what ruined America and Americans. America was built by farmers helping one another. Go to a friends house who has a drill press and give him beef for Christmas;)
