Today, I noticed that grass had sprung up around the electric fence. I have roofing shingles laid on the ground under it but it's surprising, still, how quickly grass and weeds grow between any cracks or to each side of the ground cover. I'm glad I checked. Anything touching the fence wires causes a reduction of electrical charge. That's what happened last year. While away, grass grew and touched the fence wires which weakened the charge and the bears attacked the hive...and came back for more! A nightmare that I don't want to have happen again.
So keep the grass clipped to make sure nothing touches your fence wires!
