Fencing contractor?

[terracore]

Applying too much fertilizer could theoretically kill the grubs and worms in the soil and make the area less attractive to the pigs. You wouldn't find these levels of fertilizer on golf courses or crops because it would kill the grass etc.

A fence is a nearly-permanent long-term solution which requires minimal maintenance effort once it's built.

Fighting the pigs any other way is like a full-time job that's never quite 100% effective.

Wow, great comments and suggestions....thanks to everyone...next week hope to have a closer look at the options...

I’m getting ready for my own fencing project and had a question of my own.
Has anyone had luck with the standard 1-1/8” rotohammer “bulldog” for drilling blue rock out for t posts? Or is it necessary to use the larger SDS MAX 1-5-8” or spline drive drills?
I hope I’m not hijacking the thread.

I found 1 3/8" worked well. I defer to others who have used 1 1/4" bits but sounds like it works OK too. 1 1/8" might be too small to allow a T-post to be driven in.

My Dewalt drill kit came with a 1 3/8" bit, but it just had a boring head with a straight, smaller shaft behind and my fence guy tried it and said it did not clear the hole, so it was very difficult to remove. The 1 1/4" had a normal spiral bit behind the boring head, so it cleared the hole as it was drilling.

My Dewalt is a D25550 1 9/16" Rotary Hammer Type 2, of unknown age. The bits are spline drive.

Pricy, but not compared to having a contractor do the job.

Thanks for the responses. What sort of drill did you use? Something like this

For the price of a contractor, you could buy a new hammer, and a drill, a generator, extension cords, etc.

The only danger is that friends will ask you to help fence their lot.
