I would think swelling is a good sign. Wait a couple more days and see if they shoot out a root. What percentage would you be ok with; 90%?

Is that a one strand electric fence setup and what charger are you using?

3 strands; a single tape on the outside and 2 wires on the inside (2 rows of fence). The charger is a small "15 mile" unit I had laying around that I had used when I lived in town and had a bird dog who didn't really mind being shocked. I don't remember it's numbers but it doesn't carry a lot of energy. If I had to buy a new one it would produce a lot of joules. The best I can tell it's only been tested once... it had a strand off a post the first morning. Huge difference in the protected and unprotected plots!

I drove to Wellington today... a lot of bean fields don't look great over your way. Lots of patchy and bare spots. Do you test your drill on concrete before planting? We always did that to make sure all the drops were working and the seeds were sort of spaced right.

Thanks for the pics. I would have thought as far apart as they are the deer would just jump in between but I guess not.

It was completely experimental. I had every expectation to have to change it. It has worked so far so no need to adjust it... yet. Your results may be different. I will add that I left them plenty of beans outside the fence so they aren't exactly starving for plants.

Throw-n-Mow plots are mostly doing well. Beans look great. Flowers are coming on strong. Okra is past needing picked. Pumpkins doing well (except for squash bugs killing vines).

This plot failed. It was supposed to be thinly spaced sorghum in a field of beans. Deer ate all the beans, now I have thinly spaced sorghum and weeds.

I'm finding a lot of vining and climbing plants in my bean plot. I think they are grocery store beans that I threw out. Maybe Northern beans?
