Just curious, how do you determine whether a wire is getting current?
There’s the old-fashioned way, but I have a fence tester. Some places I’m getting 5000 volts, other places nothing. So I have to trace the wires and figure it out.
How effective is the electric fence in keeping the thieves from stealing your vegetables?
Hard to say. It was effective 10 years ago, but we have not had a vegetable garden in a while. It is early in the game this year, and the fence needs some maintenance yet. There was a lot of weed growth along the fence line, and the bottom strand was dragging into the dirt. So a little cleaning up and tightening up and it should be fine, in time for when things start to grow.
