Made a dead hedge

The large willow that is the bane of my life took down what was left of the fence and had spread into next door's field. My dog discovered the gap and was merrily trespassing but instead of just chipping the lot and putting up a new wire fence, thought I'd use the brash as a barrier.

This was after about half of the brash had been stacked. It's seriously wet there and the green willow stakes I've used on one side should take root and reinforce things and help block the view

Not terribly woven in but by poking the brash in one direction it makes the whole thing reasonably solid. The wire fence is still there to stop him crawling under it and now he's less likely to jump over it

Shoved some heavier logs on top to help compact it plus put some rotten ones I'd neglected to pick up a few months ago at the base for wildlife.
