Showcasing some of the competition, group and communal hedgelaying projects I have been involved in. Laying a hedge re-rejuvenates it and creates valuable habitat for many species of wildlife. Monday, 27 January 2014. The regrowth has not been trimmed and has reached between six and eight feet in height.

Sunday, 18 January 2015. Skinny hedge made good. Left the camera in the car so didn't take any 'before' shots but here are some of the finished job. The stakeline went OK for once. This is not the full length of the hedge but gives a view along about two thirds. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://hedgelaying.blogspot.com/2015/03/last-session-of-season.html
Showcasing some of the competition, group and communal hedgelaying projects I have been involved in. Laying a hedge re-rejuvenates it and creates valuable habitat for many species of wildlife. Saturday, 14 March 2015. Last session of the season. The planting was quite widely spaced, with a few gaps and little side growth as it had been closely fenced. I was pleased with the cutting and the build was going OK. Managed a stake line as straight as his! So, with the exception of tidying up the coppice next S...

Showcasing some of the competition, group and communal hedgelaying projects I have been involved in. Laying a hedge re-rejuvenates it and creates valuable habitat for many species of wildlife. Thursday, 26 February 2015. I didn't take any photos for a while as I was concerned about time but in fact there was plenty thanks to the lightness of the hedge and the lack of clearing out to be done before laying. South of England competition. South of England Hedge Laying Society. Axe cutting at The Nationals.

Saturday, 22 February 2014. Saturday saw the South of England Hedge Laying Society's annual competition take place on ground that can only be described as a quagmire. Although the weather on the day was wonderful, the effects of the wettest winter on record were still much in evidence. South of England competition.

As usual the five hours flew by and it was a rush to ...

Hedgelaying: December 2013
http://hedgelaying.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Showcasing some of the competition, group and communal hedgelaying projects I have been involved in. Laying a hedge re-rejuvenates it and creates valuable habitat for many species of wildlife. Sunday, 15 December 2013. SoE Training Day 3.
