If you clean around the trench you have dug, the metal cutting disc will also nip off the chainlink very quickly, but metal discs don't like cutting dirt. If you decide to go full hero and completely remove posts and chainlink, please supply your address and date of said task. I will bring a folding chair and a lot of beer, I do enjoy a full day of incoherent swearing.
