Something ate our garden plants. What can we do? ELECTRICITY!!!!!!

Описание: We set up our Earthbox grow boxes and then went on vacation for 2 weeks. When we came back, probably a raccoon climbed the fence and ate most of our cucumber plants, eggplant, and zucchini.

I decided that the final thing that needs to be done for this garden is to arm it with an electric fence. I researched and put together most of the project with some areas that will be figured out as I go. Parts of the information was difficult to get for a small home garden like this. Most of them are for larger fences that enclose acres of land, and several things are done different for those situations.

In this video, I take you from start to finish with everything for a small setup at minimal cost.

Here are the items that I purchased for this project:
