Stick Fence Progress

After much debate, and several opinions from reliable folks, we have decided to just go with a wire method for our twig fence.  We'll just put these things up and wire them to the cross beams.  HOPEFULLY it will keep the critters out, including our two huskies.  My dad is coming up this weekend from Powdersville to help us get this thing put together.  I am excited about having him help.  He's good with this sort of thing, so I'm sure i'll learn a thing or two.  Here's a photo of what we want our fence to eventually look like.


Once we get our fence put together, we're gonna try different garden bed border ideas.  We've looked at using deadfall, which is plentiful around our property, using a wattle method, and even using pallets that are cut in half.  After that, it will be time to start laying this thing out.  We have all of our beds staked off and roped so we know they are measured correctly.
We're going to use this chart that I read on a really interesting blog Alternative Energy Gardning to lay out our beds.  Here's the chart:

Hopefully, we'll be posting some new pics on Monday with a completed fence!!!!!   Hopefully... ;)

thanks for readin,
