how many metres a day would you normally do?

 

 

In parts on this one it's been down to 8 or 10 as it was 20 odd foot wide at the start, should start getting up to 15 a day as get into the thinner stuffer, can get twenty plus a day on a younger hedge or more open older stuff

The basics are fairly simple, but it's learning what works you develop an eye for it after a while same as stone walling , also depends which style your laying and a lot depends on how good the hedge is to start with, the one I put pics up of above started out well, just been through a patch of mostly elm all growing off the same couple of old pleaches so has gone a bit iffy and I'm now in some thin hawthorn and then gets better again, so spoils the run a bit, you could tuck cut brash back into it to thicken it but I always prefer not to and just do best with what's there.
