If you are fencing this is the book you need! I was new to small scale farming and found that there was very little practical advice about the right way to build various fences other than learning on the job, from friends and neighbors and such. I then found this book and it told me everything I needed to know from how to choose the right kind of fence to how deep to drive a t-post. I now have a lot of sturdy fences that should last a very long time. (by the way, drop by your local farm store and get a copy of the Galagher fencing manual if you plan on doing electric fences. Lots of good info there too).
Good Basics We looked at the Fence Bible and a Guide to Stock Fencing. This book was better than both of them. It offers good basic fence building skills, expecially for building fences for livestock. Not a book for “pretty” urban fences.
