If farmers stopped flailing their hedges every year, there would be plenty of wood.

Like the French do in Normandy. Think they call it bocage? Farmers down here have been encouraged to grow there hedgerows for firewood but not much interest to date.

It would lead to a lot of broken wing mirrors and the livestock would get out as well !!!

No reason not to flail the sides just let the top grow. As for stock most hedges here are Fenced as well.

Plenty of wood coming off site cllearances now the building job is picking up again, you just need to join the queue of timber faeries that appear everytime we start one

Maybe if or when farmers lose their grants and subsidies they will be keener to manage the woods for firewood.But then they will probably clearfell it all for greed.

 

 

Spot on!

Well carrying on with this theme,yesterday a local farmer had a massive 360 just pull over and rip up a line of mature ash trees and semi mature ones,then dug roots out.Looked like a ww1 photo.

Piled up the lot into a massive heap ready for burning,today have been levelling to standard of a billiard table.

No dieback,no rot,just few hundred tons of bonfire material.

One tree in this line had gone over in gales and i asked him a fortnight ago if he wanted it cleared up and ide pay him for the timber,he simply said 'no' and walked away from me.

That went on the heap too.

 

 

What a tosser! But sadly typical.

A couple of our hedges. Growing wood and stock proof but admittedly rather labour intensive.
