Oh my. Our back fence is quite the mess. It's made of pieces of warped chain link fence, a few boards of plywood, some remnants of previous fences (or something...), and a collection of metal and wood poles and pieces of landscaping timber holding it all up. And not well. It blows over in the wind.
The big project to complete by next spring is demolishing (disassembling?) this assortment of fence-like objects and building a legitimate fence to one day hold livestock. Behind this wall of nonsense we have nearly 1500 square feet of dirt (and weeds, lots and lots of weeds) that we've been working on leveling with mulch so that it can eventually be a dry lot for sheep. We can fence in a 1,000 sq ft rectangle for the sheep as safe dry place for them to stay when they need to be off the grass in the yard. We'll build a three-sided shed for them to keep them warm and dry in the winter. Adjacent to the dry lot we'll create an area sectioned off for compost bins for all the nice sheep manure along with garden waste, kitchen scraps, and bird manure.
