Our fence posts were/are nice native larch, cut down in its prime to
permit the (some) broadleave reforestation of all those welsh
hillsides... :-)
I expected that :-)
and it walked all the way to your garden :-)
Wish it did, and could dig its own holes into the bargain...
LOL You'd make a fortune with posts like that.
Another *useful* thing GM could do for us. ;-)
posts with little legs and sprouting perfect roses when in place?
Sapient pearwood -- now there's a thought, but it would be wasted on a
fence...
I'd thought of something like David's leylandii... plant the seedling,
it grows fast to maximum height of about 9' and 6" diameter, is
tap-rooted rather than broad, shallow roots (less competition for the
beds/damage to foundations/whatever). When they reach the desired
height/diameter, simply sprinkle the magic powder/speak a harsh word or
whatever, and they die. Trim off the branches and you've got a row of
fence posts.
