Yesterday, I woke up with the urge to build a wattle fence around my vegetable garden. Wattle fences originated 6000 years ago and are fairly common on the English countryside. I collected all the sticks from our yard and wove them between the "stakes" I had hammered into the ground.
Rather annoyingly, I am now out of sticks and have spent most of the afternoon driving around looking for precious bounty in the form of brush. It's more difficult than you would think to find a plethora of freshly cut trees and bushes.
But at least one bed has been "wattled" and I will keep working on the second. I feel it could be a good ruse against rabbits. The overall look sort of reminds me of "The Chokey" from Matilda.
