We went through the T-Post Garden for 2 years. Found a Great Solution. Portable Electric Goat Fencing, ours runs off Solar and you can remove it to mow around. Easy and After years of Deer Eating Everything in Sight...No more Deer or other critters in our garden.
Awww interesting the deer don't mess with the electric fencing!! .... How tall is your electric fence? What volts? Where did you purchase? .... Thanks so much for the TIP!! :)
Pounding in T-Posts is the worst.😅 It's so much harder than it looks, maybe it's our hard ground here.
Yeah maybe the hard ground! ... Could certainly be part of it for sure. I think too it is just hard to keep straight when they're so tall! ... Did you use an auger or post hole digger at all? I was thinking that would have been a good idea for me to use one of those to get the T-posts started. Kind of help out the process a bit ... maybe?
Looking good, that's hard work. I put in 30 10ft post last year for my garden. I used my tractor but no help so i got some crooked posts too.
Ha! Those darn posts!! ... Did you use an auger on your tractor to help you? ... ps. Way to go! Sounds like you have a Good Size Garden!! :)
@tuttiefruitties7108 i made a pipe to magnet to my bucket and slipped it over my post so the bucket would drive the stake, and the magnet on a pipe would allow me to line up everything without hands. I have an auger, but it makes too large of a hole. I do have a large garden, it's about a half acre on three terraces. Id be further along, but no help.
@@JohnDoe-id9hi Brilliant how you put your T-posts in / used your materials to work together!! Did you come up with that yourself? ... What are you growing? Where?
@tuttiefruitties7108 It was a design that I had in my head after a frustrating first couple posts that bent. I'm currently attempting to develop a market garden with a permaculture theme. Last year I sold tomatoes and peppers to my local natural grocery store and donated to a food pantry program at the library. It's definitely not profitable, but it's a passion and a opportunity of meditation to be amongst plants. I live on the southern Oregon coast. I'd rather move further inland to not have to deal with water rights issues.
@JohnDoe-id9hi Sounds Amazing! ... With 94% of all farmers in the USA having to have off farm jobs to pay their bills, I'd say you aren't the only one not making a profit. Even though I don't think that's right for the people who are growing our food to have to have off Farm jobs ... at least you know what growing food comes with and you're keeping your passion alive! That's a must in life!
