I'm declaring it a success. After installing it a couple of weeks ago, I began looking closely every morning for freshly munched, naked berry stems. I never saw any. Saw a couple of wicked deer tracks that made me conclude the critter got zapped and bolted with a tremendous bound. Still stinks like skunk out there, where I think Pepe blundered into the electricity. And the cat came home late one day, looking traumatized. (Poor kitty.) Today I harvested 112 lbs of Niagara. Processed them at Presque Isle. 15.4 Brix, .55 TA, 3.28 pH. Looks like about 7 gal, though I thought I would get more. I believe these are good numbers for this year. I did add an oz of acid blend. Wouldn't have anything if not for Edison. Ken
