Fence Building

This morning a group of gardeners were out at the field to finish the fence. John Wilson lead the crew in stringing the deer busters mesh along the posts that were set last week. As John stapled, several of us pulled the fence material taut and pulled it along the fence line to have it ready. As a section was finished, the taller guys used black tie straps to secure the fence material to the line along the top.

Once we had two sides complete, a few others came behind and began trenching and burying the bottom edge of the fence material. This should help prevent the smaller critters from crawling under the perimeter.

While all this was going on, Jenn and others began marking out the individual plots and setting the garden signs. They used the cut ends from the posts to help mark the boundaries better.

The crew attaching the fencing material caught up to the other group who was finishing attaching the wire along the top of the posts.
