Homemade Garden Fence Posts 

I think they will! Hopefully I can get my next video on this out soon so you can see the progress I've made. A while back I gave friends and family the opportunity to get rid of any spare paint they had laying around. I was looking for interior latex paint so I could use it on fruit trees, but some exterior found it's way over as well so I used that for this project. I ended up primarily using ash for these posts, but a few elm made the cut as well. And yes, I've found that as well! The borers don't seem to get down into the root systems much so for at least a few years they tend to send out a lot of suckers. I've got one with a sucker that is completely healthy and probably 20 feet tall, but other than that we only have 2-3 year old saplings at the largest. I'm hoping the saplings can survive long enough to be good fence posts haha! Thanks for tuning in!

They are still doing great! There are a few that I have expected since the beginning won't last as long as others, but even they are still holding up just fine!

Unfortunately, we have never found any morels on our property. At our last house, they popped up right in our backyard after we took down a crabapple tree and burned the stump!

Thanks! I'm located in central Indiana. As I recall I primarily used ash trees, but there were also a couple of elm, cherry, and hackberry.
