Re: [aroid-l] elephant fences was: Woodchuck problem

Hi Marge

Steel 15 x 20 cm, 6 m long I-beams (known as RSJ's in the UK) buried and
concreted 3 meters into the ground at 1 meter intevals and then disguised by
coating them in a concrete-soil mixture that very quickly becomes moss- and
lichen covered.
