Building Fence (part 1)

One of the things we have envisioned for our property is to have a small orchard and some berries along with some space for other crops that need more room then our little garden by our house can afford. We quickly realized that we have a major deer problem on our hands when we put in a few small apple trees last year and they were discovered and half eaten right thru the plastic mesh fence! Up goes the 8-foot garden/deer fence! With the help of a manual post hole digger (yes, we do believe in power tools ~ but the local equip. rental guy says augers are too dangerous to rent out, thus...) Dan dug three feet thru clay/rock/soil/etc. and erected our 4 corner posts along with a 5th post for the gate. Now we wait until it's dry enough to concrete them in and wrap our fencing.
