Cracking jobs chaps!

We just finished this one. I tend to lay 'midland' but go a bit 'free'style and leave it a bit hairy on the clean side sometimes

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

ah right nice work. Is it difficult to learn how to lay hedges?

Have always fancied learning how to do this properly - does anyone know of anyone that does courses or would be willing to show the basics up in Fife or thereabouts?

 

Great pics by the way - looks amazing.

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.
