     not really, they'd get trampled in the only places they'd   
   have a chance of making a difference.  if i were to invest   
   time in that it would be better spent in just putting up   
   better fences to get the rest of the area enclosed that   
   needs it the most.  i'd gain almost 20,000 of square feet   
   of protected garden space by running 450ft of 6-8ft fencing,   
   but the requirements of Mom to have nice looking gates   
   makes that cost double or more what it could be.  and right   
   now i'm out of extra $ of any type until my retirement funds   
   start coming in.  i need to be patient for several more   
   years.  :)
