great job. Can almost smell the wood burning

 

Did some hedgelaying years ago at college. Used the traditional method (mathook?)

 

Wouldnt mind having another bash at this. Looks quite satisfying.

The first one I've been putting off for a few years as it was mostly blackthorn, all greened up nicely now just got to gap up acouple of places and back fence it

Photo of a hedge I laid Sussex Bullock style next to Bewl Reservoir c 2005

 

 

Now I do mainly Devon style (no stakes or binders needed) - so its a lot quicker!

Nice job Not quite sure what style mines classed as, think its a cross between midlands and welsh

Awesome!

 

What sorts of trees do you guys recommend for hedge laying?

[tommer9]

I am far from an expert Brendon, but i live in a rural part of england and have seen allsorts used- pretty much whatever is there!

 

Do you guys do anything similar- i assume so but wasnt sure?

Hi Any hard woods best done in autumn / winter .

Most Laying in England is with Hawthorne. This being when the enclosure act came to being in the 17/18th century.
