Over the winter I burned my garden fence for heat. It had hit the correct time in the seasoning cycle so in the stove it went. Now I needed to replace it. I just happened to have some maple and ash laying around. So I spent some time splitting and stacking. Voila'...new garden fence.

Splitting and transporting
Mid stack
Completion
I spent yesterday cutting down some dead elm on the back line and finished stacking that low spot on the very end.
I stacked a little higher this time. Last fence was only around three feet high.
The "fence" works well at keeping the neighbors dog out of the garden and the yard for that matter. It also blocks any severe north winds we get that might damage the plants. It seems like everytime we get a big summer storm the winds come crashing out of the north and this helps. It also adds a little reflective heat and light properties for early season growing. Vegetables are growing well in my little home built greenhouse just waiting for mid may to be planted!
