Joyce Coomer: Will continue to use trees as fence posts Using trees as fence posts is a very logical, economical and useful technique. We still employ trees as fence posts and will continue to do so when we need to do any fencing. - JOYCE COOMER By Joyce Coomer Trees have been used as fence posts for years because they were already there and weren't an additional expense to a farmer already strapped for cash. Not only that, it wasn't necessary to dig a post hole, and fences are often put in places where digging a post hole is difficult, if not nearly impossible. Once the fencing material was attached to the trees, the main concern about the fence in that area would be a windstorm blowing down the trees. Posts set in the ground (even ones set in concrete) can loosen and fall over in a few years, causing a farmer additional expense, work and worry. Using trees as fence posts is a very logical, economical and useful technique. We still employ trees as fence posts and will continue to do so when we need to do any fencing. City slickers don't seem to understand this theory. - Joyce M. Coomer This story was posted on 2014-02-05 11:04:36
