My place in Sumter has become overrun with hogs. I kill all I see but they destroyed my garden this summer.
I am planning on next years garden and would like some input on how to keep the hogs out.
I assume they can dig under an electric fence, so I was thinking about a wire fence about 3' tall and 3' (6 foot roll of wire) laid on the ground and staked down (on the outside of the enclosure). I could not mow over the wire without winding it up on the blades so I am thinking just keeping it sprayed.
Any problems or other things I should consider?
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

How big is your garden? Most Co-ops sell "Goat Panels". They are 16' by 34". They start out with the small squares at the bottom and progress up in size. I have clients using them as exclusion corrals around their protein feeders. They run about $23 per.

Last year it was about 1 acre plus another 5 acres of silver queen.
If I went with the panels wouldn't the hogs just dig under?
Could I put up the mesh fence and run a single strand of electric fence wire for added protection? Maybe 6-8" off the ground?

I haven't had one dig under yet.
I would try the electric fence on a garden that big.
