Makes me wonder about getting a H...Good stuff Tom!<br /><br />Makes me wonder about getting a Holistic Educator over to the UK sometime..<br /><br />Let me know where you are going later on as I have some decent contacts in NZ, Oz, Canada and USA. Possibly Brazil/ Argy as well if I ask around<br /><br />And get a copy of Jim Howell's book "for the love of the land" as well if you can<br /><br />Keep writing!Will Scalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520953769253914029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172139541220333710.post-36177691136849595012011-05-18T21:59:11.071+01:002011-05-18T21:59:11.071+01:00Thanks Michael, and at the risk of sounding sycoph...Thanks Michael, and at the risk of sounding sycophantic, I've really enjoyed your blog too - and now there's a second one, about grazing sheep! <br /><br />Fences are an interesting subject (to me anyway....) and I've seen (and am implementing) a novel way of combining temporary and semi-permanent fences where the latter is always live and the reel holding the temporary fencing acts as the 'switch'. This means whilst unrolling and staking the temporary wire it is 'cold' then when you're done, hook it onto the semi-permanent wire and it becomes 'hot'.<br /><br />Of course, I'm only dealing with a single strand, for cattle. Three strands, in my limited experience, becomes exponentially more difficult. Good luck!<br /><br />Cheers<br />TomTom Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321467298429982891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172139541220333710.post-622414564732711202011-05-15T15:54:59.812+01:002011-05-15T15:54:59.812+01:00Hi Tom
Great blog and really interesting subject....Hi Tom<br /><br />Great blog and really interesting subject. I'm trying some cell grazing for my sheep this year having been inspired by what I saw in NZ ... I'm sure its the way forward IF I can design a system that takes a short time dedicated to putting up fences! Good luck - I'm jealous but looking forward to hearing what you find out.<br /><br />Cheers MichaelMichael Blanche .... blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199716771316641493noreply@blogger.com
