[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6924865, member: 63856"] Usually long enough to get the mob through, maybe a week? What I don't like is having electrical current going down into the soil because that's "autumn", rather the plant/soil's own electrical current should be going upward ... "spring". Sorry if that sounds a bit too biodynamic but it's true, the Earth is a big dynamo and this affects growth patterns and plant habits far more than soil indices ever can. Measure a poplar tree by putting the probes into the trunk and by the roots and there will always be current- upwards in spring and downwards in the fall. Thus growth patterns are completely different near the equator to down here, even if you took a potplant on an aeroplane ride. A blade touching a low hotwire at a few kV will actually reduce the grass growth adjacent to the fence for a few weeks, hence we shift in the afternoon and then put the 'boom' on after an hour or two when they've grazed it away from the wires. Again, that's a behavioural thing as most sheep would simply take a run at a dead fence, in a way their behaviour is an indication of if we're regenerative or degenerative today. Regen ag is a behaviour, and that's the part people miss. [/QUOTE]
