What do you think of the new fence?
The posts and latticework are cedar~ untreated to protect our land.
We plan to put up at least 1-2 panels every payday. Soon the whole lot will be secured!
We will plant a climbing rose at every other panel. Grapes, kiwis or other climbing perenials will be planted at the panels that don't get roses. Soon we will have a thorny living fence made sturdier by the vines growing through it!
wow the fence looks great.... i never would have thought of ladicework for fencing... and the climbing thorne fence sounds even better.... hope it all goes well..
ReplyDeletei didnt know that treated wood would cause harm to my garden.. thanks for the tip.... and i woud love to see more pics of the fence as you go
ReplyDeleteYes... it's a marvel! The laticework is not a sturdy option, but, with the addition of the vines, I think we'll be ok. Also, no one will try to climb it... LOL! At least not twice!
ReplyDeleteYou really have to read what the wood is treated with... it's usually an insecticide plus whatever else. That means whatever edibled you plant anywhere near the fence is contaminated! Same holds true for the new vinyl fences... we all kbow about the fumes, ect. that stuff gives off. Who wants to eat those toxins?!?!
ReplyDeleteFencing looks great! should look real nice with all the plants you will be adding.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI really want to go get more fence panels, posts, ect!!! Then go nuts shopping for roses, grapes, kiwis....!!!!!!!!!!!!
