This may be silly, but it's for a 24' fence, straight line, no corners, not much slope.  I've seen several things, but mostly it is someone putting string from the start post to the end stake and making the other posts just back up to the string.  I understand that.

But, how do I know the string is straight from the first post to the last one 24' away?  I could eyeball it, but Id like to be more accurate.  I'm starting on a small stretch for privacy, but later I want to do other fences.

I think I made one mistake though.  I put in the first post already instead of stakes, which make a 3-4-5 harder, plus it's a long span.

I've read lots of people that are interested in it, and I've seen some of the people saying they make $$$ on YouTube, but have any of you actually made money?  Enough to justify it as a real business, so you can quit your dayjob or at least not have to get a second (or third) job to live?  Thanks for sharing on this.  It's so hard to find out from real people the real truth on things.

I have a bunch of einkorn and khorasan/ kamut, whole, where you have to mill it.

Can those kernels be planted and grow wheat?  If so will it be the same wheat (not like a hybrid seed which will be different from the parent.)?

I was also hoping someone could tell me how you know if an auger can turn a 14" one?  is 43cc too small for larger than 8"?  What would I need for above 8" if 43cc can't?  Thanks.

Hi, I'm in 7b, Atlanta, GA.  It's ok during the day right now, but at night it gets to 29 some nights.  I'd be safe to plant them in the day, but I wish I had a stretch of nights that were in the 40s or 50s.  I'm afraid my heeling in isn't right, and while the trees are brittle or anything, I am afraid if I don't plant them they'll die.  I'm afraid if I do plant them, while the nights are cold, they'll die.  Leave them heeled in?  Plant?

They are chickasaw plum, fuyu asian pear, stella cherry, persimmon, and a few apples.  They are 3/4" on some, but some are smaller, maybe 1/4".  A couple of them are an 1" at the union.  I have 10 trees and they cost a lot of money.  Any advice is appreciated.

I was going to rent or buy an auger for planting, but maybe I should wait?

Thank you for any advice.

Hi, On fruit trees, does the fruit only grow on new limbs?  I know pruning has more than one purpose, like managing picking fruit from a shorter tree, light to lower branches, and so on, but is that why you shouldn't be so worried on pruning because fruit grows on the new growth anyway?

Thanks.

Hi, I know I can get the pre-made pipe bender online, but I wanted to know how I could do it with a regular pipe bender from Home Depot, Lowe's, or some place like that.  I've seen how so use a pipe bender (not done it), but I don't know what angles I would use or how difficult it would be.  I was looking at 12-16' wide.  That made me think the radius is 8', in a perfect circle, though I am wondering if it is more of an ellipse.  8' is high enough for me.

angle = 90 for one of the four quadrants of the sphere, one pole really.
radius is 8' (16' dia.)
Arc Length is 12.56637' (from an online calculator)

s=r(theta) or something.

But, how do I know how to bend the pipe at a certain angle to get those dimensions with a regular pipe bender?  Do I do 30 degrees, 27, 5.49939393, who knows?  I didn't want to buy the pipe bender just for a greenhouse, if I didn't have to.  No offense to you who sell them.  I wanted to learn to use a regular pipe bender.
