I'd love to grow enough willow to make some hurdles. One day I'd love to own and manage a small woodland! If we get pigs this year it would be great to make some fencing to fold them to different areas.

I'm glad to see you putting this to use. It's got me wondering how I could incorporate it here, too.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-68338767560560476572023-02-27T09:46:53.054+00:002023-02-27T09:46:53.054+00:00Blackthorn whips are incredibly inexpensive if you...Blackthorn whips are incredibly inexpensive if you buy them bare rooted and can be planted up to April. northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-15343165807101646152023-02-26T21:15:11.732+00:002023-02-26T21:15:11.732+00:00Willow was an option, but it does outcompete other...Willow was an option, but it does outcompete other stuff in the hedge. I will probably use it under the other willow tree where it's heavily shaded and damp. I did find a fair few other saplings to fill the gaps as well!

I suppose you could plant willow whips in any gaps. It's much more easy on the eye than looking at sheepwire and barbed wire.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.com
