The plan was for a ranch style fence with 4"x4" tanalised posts at 6'
intervals and I'm wondering what's the best way to set the posts to give
them the greatest longevity.


Concrete posts?
Steel 'metpost' type holders?


Half a brain?

What was wrong with the hedge?

How much work will the new labour intensive scheme involve over the
next two centuries? How much wildlife will the new labour intensive
scheme support over the next two centuries?

Who is going to get rid of the **** you install when you are poking
out daisies?
