Yes it came with a voltmeter and a ground rod. I got it from the link I posted in this thread a while ago.

I was finally able to set up an electric fence yesterday. I only got a couple 100 ft rolls so it was not enough for the entire garden. If it seems to work, I'll get more rolls. Crossing my fingers!

Yes, as Eddie said, the traps have been helping. The netting has also been helping up to a point. I tried putting netting over the zucchini and the squirrels just made big holes in it and still ate everything inside. While I was waiting for the electric fence, we decided to try some motion...

Anyone know if this garlic is ready to harvest yet? This is my first time growing it so I wasn't sure. I dug up a couple and they look pretty good but was wondering if I should wait a little longer to dig up the rest.
