And yet, to fence in a 100' x 100' garden took them 14 years.  Also, if you 
read the account by the Nearings themselves, it sounds like they did it all 
themselves, just the two of them.  But in reality all during that time they had 
as many as 30 people staying at their place for a few days or a few months and 
these sojourners did most of the work.
