I recently got sent this question, can anyone advise John?

"Is there any recommended method of discouraging neighbouring sheep from straying onto the woodland and devouring all the newly planted trees? They are very resourceful, and can jump huge ditches with a single leap."

Good fencing -

1 strand of barbed at the bottom - stock netting and then 1 strand of barbed on top -

disuades most sheep - ideal for pemanent solution ( 10-15 years)
