how long did it take you to get it done. found out no lengthman next week so if finish hedge with lhamas i can get two 20mts done next week. nice little earner. Dorset may be in need of your skills next season have a double hedge maybe to do one hedge on bank and other on flat in front. be different two styles together

67m's in all 3 days including moving brash into drive way with help from owner, & for then to get rid of

but as you know all hedges different, this 1 not very wide at all.

Current 1 totally different, 7 foot drop of side of bank/garden, and on knees on other side. Have a yarn with you and any others @ the weekend Nationals

Hey folks

 

Any recommended reading or web sites for learning a bit more about hedgelaying styles as well as practical how to type stuff.

Building up to doing one in a year or two when I can get to it.

 

Was aiming to go to the nationals to see how it is done, but will unfortunately be away still

The southern counties style of laying is like artwork it really is. I lay Lancs and westmoreland which is far far easier and very stock and rabbit proof but don't look nowhere near as smart.
