@JSinMO Eugen is wright . one will damage the other . They work on the same principle as a CDI box and coil . The lack of nice grass will hinder its performance . So will dry ground and the grounding and connections . It is a small solar unit , there are larger ones .All are battery or hydro driven , the solar panel is just keep the battery charged . Most garden raiders will hit between dusk and dawn when the dew is out upping it performance . Remember it is not there to kill them but rather to think twice before trying again . Coons lead with there noses and a solid wack on there nose is something they will not soon forget .

Re: Gardens 2023
Another solution to improve performance is to add multiple earth grounds throughout the fence. Will increase the tingle. Lol

Re: Gardens 2023
I guess we’ll run the fence as is for now and see how it goes. The only change I’ll make is a better ground rod instead of the rusty length of rebar it’s hooked to now!
Took a few pics this evening. Tomatoes and peppers are looking good.
My 3 short rows of potatoes are looking great this year, especially considering they rotted in the wet ground last year and nothing grew!
First flower on the zucchini
Everything is up and looking good, except the bush beans. I used some old seed, I may have to replant it.

Re: Gardens 2023
The garden is coming along. I staked the tomatoes, peas are growing up my makeshift trellis,
How are you all doing this year?
Potato’s are blooming
Every thing seems to be on track. My 3 rows of corn are up. I’m debating on planting another couple rows. How are you all doing this year?

Re: Gardens 2023
Your garden is doing well for sure @JSinMO ! Potato plants blooming already? I keep forgetting you're so much closer to the Equator
I barely managed to plant some potatoes two days ago, a job made 3x harder with two toddlers "helping" me
We decided to plant some tomatoes and cucumber plants. I'll be happy if we manage to do it before July
