Gene,
Planting new trees in a chicken-wire-lined hole will preserve
them. Until then, I hear they make a good substitute for pork in
many recipes, especially BBQ.
Well, thanks, that would get the tree established before the wire
rotted. The bigger issue is garden beds. I very much look forward to
ferrocement walls on seriously raised beds. Put some hardware cloth,
crushed glass, punctured plastic panels or such at the bottom to
deter the voles and moles, and I believe one could garden with no
more than Zeus to contend with.
I don't eat pork. These things are so nasty I would not know where to
start to prepare them for eating. Hairy, dirty, carapaced, just
basically repulsive.
