John, just a response on the shorting problem. Make sure you have a hot energizer and the weeds won't be a problem. Each year there will be a voltage loss on our front fence due to heavy grass load on the west side of the pond, but pulling the fence out of the bent over grass takes care of that. Even with the grass, our fence usually measures over 3.5K. I try to keep 6-7K on the fence. - mac

Quoting John Pike <jpike AT gloryroad.net>:
Can you describe the fencing and particularly how you keep weeds from
shorting the fence. ----- Original Message -----
