Q: How much space do goats need?

• <div><p>Goats need at least 250 square feet of space each, but that&rsquo;s if you&rsquo;re also supplementing hay. Since goats are social animals, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid renting only one goat, which would take a long time to clear your land, anyway. Instead, opt for at least two goats per 500 square feet of land. Most rental companies will only rent out goats by the acre, but check your local goat rental companies to see if they make exceptions.</p></div>

Q: Should you power wash a fence before staining it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-pressure-wash-your-home.htm">power washing</a> isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn&rsquo;t time for dust and dirt to build up again. </p></div>

Q: How tall should a wattle fence be?

• <div><p>Wattle fences are typically around 4 feet tall, but they can be built taller or shorter depending on their intended use. Taller fences may require additional reinforcements, such as thicker posts or tighter weaving, to ensure the fence&rsquo;s stability and durability against wind and other elements. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose where to add a fence gate?

• <div><p>To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn&rsquo;t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gate-latch-types.htm">type of gate latch</a> you use.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my dog from digging under the fence?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-dogs-from-digging-under-fence.htm">keep a dog from digging under a fence</a> by filling existing holes in your yard, installing a wire to your fence bottom, burying your fence bottom, making a designated digging spot, and removing visual stimuli. You can also dissuade your dog from wanting to dig under your fence and escape by scheduling more one-on-one playtime and ensuring they are getting enough exercise to keep them stimulated.</p></div>

After showing him where the nest was, he told me what he’d have to do to remove it (dig under a fence & move some stones); the nest was removed & I haven’t had an issue of the yellow jackets coming back.
