Take one neglected, lightly flailed hedge:
Hedge before laying
Knock it about a bit:
cutting pleachers
cut and laid
Hammer it down well:
hammering in stakes
Repeat ad nauseam and hey presto:
Laid hedge
A fully functioning, theoretically stock proof hedge. Rendered somewhat irrelevant by the subsequent invention of barbed wire, but hey, everybody’s got to have a hobby.
And how was your weekend?
What a great idea – how did you get to do this?
Through a conservation volunteering group. If you want to have a go, these people do the same sort of thing in your area (tell them I sent you…)
Crappy thanks. Looks like you had fun though.
Nothing quite like laying waste to something to cheer oneself up.
Good thanks! That looks so easy when an expert does it!
Don’t know about experts … certainly not me
