Tea fence completed!
Over the past three days, a fence was built around the tea plantation area. The area is probably around .35 acres (.14 hectares). Local fence expert Ben Laurence did the work, he came recommended by many other people around here who all had fences built, including Connie down the road who fenced out the pigs that were wrecking havoc with her native plants.
20 pressure-treated posts, lots of smaller metal poles, 325′ of hogwire and a barbed wire strand at the bottom. That’s $900 in supplies and $600 in labor… we better sell a lot of tea someday! At least now i can sleep in peace without fearing that pigs are gleefully destroying everything.
