New Braunfels Landscaping, Deer Resistant Plants

When landscaping New Braunfels lawns, residents and businesses typically ask about deer resistant plants and ground cover.  The pesky whitetail deer are nearly everywhere in New Braunfels, from downtown to the outlying subdivisions.  New Braunfels landscaping professionals typically will recommend several deer resistant options.  From the unsightly fence to some ground covers, shrubs and plants that deer typically stay away from, but in tough times deer will eat almost any plant to survive.  Below you will find a list of ground covers, shrubs and perennials that we have seen deer stay away from if other vegetation is available.

Resistance between earths/ground?

I have made a earthing point for my solar powered workshop I have a copper pipe that is 6ft deep in the ground and the Resistance from the mains earth in the house and my earth is 134ohms is this a good reading

Additional Details
No its not a load its the resistance between the two earths my earth and the electric company's earth

I live in england in the northwest

I think some people are getting confused I repeat I am not Measuring any loads of any other power I am measuring the resistance between my copper pipe and the the power company's earth I am using it to make sure my earth is connected propaly
I Got an engineer to have a look and 134 ohms is a very good reading and I have a perfect earth so there you go

The reason people (including my self when I answered this same question asked twice, yesterday) is that you entered MAINS in your text. Generally, most people scan what they are reading. The brain fills in alot of the information of the text, based on key words. This is one case where it bit me twice in one day with the same identical question asked twice at different times.

This is you third question about the same problem in less than 2 days.

Even though I erred in reading your question twice, the net result of my answers were accurate. This is not a good situation. As you said, you are concerned about your installation. I gave you a method that might prove where the apparent problem is.

Good luck in finding your problem
