People have lots of stories about putting hedge apples in their basements to repel spiders and crickets. Some say it worked, and others aren't so sure.

Grow your own fence posts is a great idea, especially when they last as you say for decades.<br />Your description of playing in the pasture sure brought back memories. We had 2 quarters of native prairie with several poplar (aspen) bluffs around sloughs where we played as kids.<br />Our local fence posts were diamond willow pickets, posts were cedar and came from BC. They lasted for 30 years. I remember helping dad pull some old ones up, turn them over and tamp them back into the holes.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.com
