    Electric Fence Problem - Arching at Ground Rod

    I had to put a temporary electric fence up a couple of years ago and rather that use a ground rod I just tied it to an old 1/2" steel cable that was submerged in the creek for about 20'. That was the best darn ground I ever had. Even though it was a battery powered charger, it would sure knock...

    But remember, if you have very dry conditions for a while, you may need to add water to the soil around them. Don't ask me how I know. 🤷‍♂️

    Clover Galore

    It is the same here, I think it has something to do with the weather. I have clover everywhere even in my hay fields.

    I wondered that myself. But he did say he was getting 2.2 at the fence, so I ruled that out.

    Marijuana

    CBD is totally legal in Tennesse however THC is not due to a mistake in drafting the drug laws. One of my kids got me a jar of Delta 8 gummies for Christmas. I have taken a 1/2 of one a few times and it did help me sleep better.

    Electric Fence Problem - Arching at Ground Rod

    The whole "miles" thing on fence chargers is just marketing. What really matters is the joules of output. My guess is that the output on your charger is about 2-3 joules (normally they tie output to miles for marketing purposes). The normal recommendation is a minimum of 3 ground rods. However...

    Electric Fence Problem - Arching at Ground Rod

    There are a lot of unanswered questions here. What is the size of your charger? How close to the charger is the ground rod and is it really 6' deep in the ground? Have you checked to make sure you do not have a short somewhere, ie against a metal post, touching the ground? Pour some water...

    Marijuana

    That is the way it is in FL now. Just about every chiropractor in the state hands out prescriptions. They should just make it legal and tax the whiz out of it like tobacco.

    The only problem with the THC tests is that CBD products will test positive too, even though they are not mind-altering.

    Solar battery tender/chargers

    I think it would depend on the size of your solar panel.

    Marijuana

    Regardless of your thoughts, I have had too many clients and people tell me that it helps with their medical conditions to not believe it cannot be useful in medical settings. Full Disclosure, I have never smoked or ingestied it. The reason it got a bad reputation was because of a film from the...

    Too close for comfort.

    I will let Kenny answer as to which one he is using now. He bought one of the original ones that were invented in Greenville, TN. A friend of mine knew the guy that invented it and he tried out one of the prototypes and almost damn near killed a calf with it. Those plugged into an outlet.
