Overstood Hedge 8 months on

Below is a video looking at the hedge I laid back in the winter. It's come on well. not all the new trees have survived the dry summer, but most of them have - pretty good as I didn't water them! 

 This video shows why I cut the elder back int he hedge really well, I'm tempted to cut it back again this winter as it's already 6ft high and I've like the new trees to get established before it shades them out completely. 

Restoring A Hedge

 With the oak tree down it has left a rather large gap, and although it was set back form the hedge by a good 14ft it feels very empty down there now. 

But it has let a good amount of light into the old hedge that runs in parallel to it. It's also made me realise how much this hedge needs some work, especially this first section. It's very gappy, with the trees that are left looking very little like a hedge. 

Want to seize the bull by the horns I decided to keep on working with the wood on our land and lay a bit of this hedge. 

Laying 42m Of Hedge - That I Planted 9 Years Ago!

 The week before last I decided to finally lay the hedge I'd been thinking about for the last few years.

What's really good about laying this hedge is I planted it myself 9 years ago (read the blog post here).
