    We rented a post pounder today and put in posts around the added garden space today. That was cool. Once got used to it, the pounder made quick work.

    And we also replaced a 4' gate with a 10' gate so we can get the tractor through it.

    Altogether a rewarding day.

    Looks good Mike. Do you plan on cutting those tops on the posts at all? If cut at an angle, water will run off and make the posts last longer.

    We finished the garden fence and gate today. Installed H-posts, brace wires with strainers, 2x4 woven wire fencing and finally an 8' gate. This thing is so strong, I think it could contain a Brahma bull. It was dark when we finished so pictures will have to wait for tomorrow.:cool:

    Looks good. I see that it is being fertilized as well.
