Right, Ken, interesting historical development--the fact that European 
settlers in this country made so little use of living fences, though 
their use was fundamental in many of the countries they came from.

My article on living fences in Mother Earth News last year brought more 
response than perhaps anything else I've written. It's one of the things 
I want to get up on my website asap. Asap means as soon as I get past 
the deadline for making the final revision of my book's manuscript.

I'll post to the group when it's available.
