John we think so and Jake is back putting up fence. We will now and then still cover the fence on the ground but no hurry for that. Now that the new fence is up, we will take down old fence p[lus have more yard since we did more clearing of vines and dead trees.
Your fence on the ground looks like it's on sandy soil. One drawback to such a setup in other regions (such as mine) would be the grass & weeds growing through it and being hesitant to run a mower over it.
John I've been cleaning vines, saplings bushes off trees and fence for 27years here, so no problem till I wear out or kick the bucket, which at my age is possible of course. Then Jake will have to do it, although he hates vines, on the other hand he says I'm addicted to them. But it keeps me going and helps with the isolation out here away from everybody.
If the ground fence is pulled tight, and you only need to throw a little dirt over it, in places; mower run over it with no problem, I've cut my grass over it here, for 27 years with no problems.
Another "fence day", for me, I laid about 80', yesterday on the ground and upright with posts. I have about 80 ft to go today, and the back will be finished. I hit 7000 steps yesterday; as I said before my new dogs and fence have doubled my daily steps; soar at night, but feel fine the next day; so maybe it's actually good for me. "Later".
Still working on the fence but, almost done; Leo had staples taken out yesterday, and loving being free again, they said, "the incision looks wonderful". When we stepped into the dog pound office; the two women who had helped the vet fix him, grabbed him, and went to work on him right away on the floor, at the door, I'm not sure who was most surprised, me or Leo. He did great, just was a little shocked about it. Marie 's busy with new dogs and catching up with work, she may be on, later in the week.
Finishing the fence today, all the gates are done, and the fence is up everywhere, just have about a hundred feet, to twist tie bottoms; to the ground fence.
Got all the bottoms twisted, a few days ago. Pulled a calf muscle on my left leg, so that's slowed me down some, along with some ribs, I had seemed to of cracked a few weeks ago, on left side under heart; so for last couple weeks felt like I was having a heart attack, due to pain there. Always something, but starting to heal some now, and getting back at it. We did start some seeds, and transplanted them to bigger containers, and got to get them in the green house, after a few repairs.
