Lovely work. The more hedges we restore like this, the more nesting sites there will be for our native species. Win win.

I love this. A living fence, for as long as someone doesnt destroy it. I can assure you that cows have fun with fences and have no issue with testing their stoutness. I longed to put in living fences. One day, again.

I'm going to attempt laying a hedge on my homestead, in Northern Ireland, this Autumn. Never knew what is was until I seen a laid hedge at a canal in Stock-on-Trent 3 years ago. I told myself i'd have to try that some day! . All advice on how to go about it is welcome

Some good material in this video. But - when working on slope lay uphill - which means progressing down hill. Maybe there was some confusion here? There is a myth that hedges laid downhill will not grow as sap can only travel upwards but ths is not true. However, a hedge laid downhill will be hard to build to a height, tight enough and will look very flat. Tools shown were not sharp enough an dcutting not "clean" as a result. An explanation is needed regarding why we cut as we do to promote new growth from the stool, at the correct height and how this rejuvenates the hedge, as well cutting to keep the pleach (laid stem) alive.

Yes, some confusion with the language used here! We start working at the top of the slope and work our way down. The pleachers are indeed laid uphill. Definitely, there's so much more that could be said about how and why we lay hedges. Maybe a more in-depth follow-up is needed! The volunteers shown here have only been laying hedges for a few years and there's always more to learn 🙂

Looks interesting. I've never seen this done on this side of the Atlantic. Any good tree variety?

Hi, thanks for your question. Most UK natural hedgerows can benefit from this type of maintenance. In particular, Hawthorn, Blackthorn and Hazel. Let us know if you have experience of this on 'the other side of the pond' and if different techniques were/are used!

Interesting that you lay the hedge downhill. Most hedgelayers lay them uphill. Is there any reason for downhill laying?

"On sloping ground, always work down the slope." Which direction should the top of the tree/plant be laid: uphill or downhill?

You start working at the top of the slope and work your way down. The pleachers are laid up the hill :-)

Yes I was confused, always lay up hill I was taught so the sap works harder encourages vigorous growth.
