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?

Yours or mine?

What was wrong with the hedge?

Lot of things with this particular hedge. Leylandii for a start, too high,
too thick, wrong place.


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?

Having hacked through the bl**dy thing I can assure you that there wasn't a
single nest concealed within. It did seem to support the odd spider. I do
plan to plant a new (much smaller hedge) but in the meantime, my neighbour
and I want a new fence to mark the boundary.


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

What have you been smoking? Suggest you lay off the illicit substances
before you next post.

Perhaps you should stick to shouting abuse at spammers (who I'm sure will
listen to
your every word).
