Fed up of watching Vitamin trying to break my electric fence by leaning over it, OH and I took action.
We built an electric fence to stop her.
I know I said in a previous blog that I didn’t mind Vitamin having the extra grass but I do mind her wrecking my fence, and my neighbour’s boundary fence. It had to stop. Enough was enough.
Obviously, like all things at Thordale, it was a family affair.
This is my neighbour’s boundary fence and you can see Vitamin has been helping herself and, while this fence is not perhaps in its first flush of youth, it is still a perfectly functional fence that is not helped by Vitamin’s awful habits and I noticed Waffle was working out how to lean over a fence too. It had to stop.
When OH’s drill died, he went home leaving me to clear up all the old fencing stuff that was annoying me and was going to earth the new fence.
Finally cleared up, and I went up the hill to find Vitamin (and friend, Newt) whereupon I told her to cease and desist as she would get a nasty shock……
…. quite literally.
And then I went back to the track and set up the energiser with a brand new battery. Bring it on Vitamoobag, bring it on!
Later on I noticed the fence was working very well. Job done (and btw, the corpse is Newt).
