I am very jealous of your hedgelaying skills, a thing of beauty to behold Graham,

have you post images of similar work done in the past 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years you could post?

It's built upright ie not laid off far from the base to the top and worked between stakes which is similar to Cheshire and Derby but the top is bound in tight using what's available from the hedge itself.  All the brush is to one side which would originally the stock side and the face would have been the plough side......in the days of traditional rotation.

How long is the hedge and how long did it take to do?  I don't think I'd even have the patience to attempt to learn this.

It's 100 metres and took six days.  Farmer has now given me another 100m and I thought my season was finished.
