    You could make a proper dead hedge instead. One that works as a regular hedge that keeps things out (or in). That composts branches, vines, and other big garden debris for you. And that at the same time gives a habitat to wildlife. You don't need to buy stakes or line them up so neatly. You can use branches you otherwise would have put into the hedge. They can be much thinner, and no drill is needed, just a smaller sledgehammer. As the branches rot, you just ram in a new one next to it. If you're afraid of fire, give it a proper soaking now and then in really dry weather. Love the hedgehog house! 🦔

    Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life) 1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree. Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it. 2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water. 3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom. The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller. 4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case. 5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth. 6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity. 7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants. This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname! In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time. Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors. Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants. There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living. -This idea will eliminate 90% of the demand for large corporations and industries. - This idea will reverse air pollution and filter the world's air naturally and beneficially. - This idea will reveal the counterproductivity of governments and starve the governments of their power. Your fear and desperation. There will be no need to clear cut entire forests to build ever again and this will encourage the natural ecology in our world instead of fighting with it. Be a part of the change. Not a part of the problem through government. We have made excuses for ignoring the fact that we are supporting all the problems we state we are against. Let's be the change!!!

    • @godemontjan3050
      @godemontjan3050 Год назад

      Hi Paul, twisting the ends is possible but not always necessary when you are making a fixed fence. I often use it on top for the finish. Furthermore it s only possible with not too thick branches and requires more technique and force. The video wanted to show a technique feasable for most people. I hope this answers your question.Best regards.

      Similar but movable fencing (sheep hurdles of about 2 meters long) was used all over the countryside to gather sheep or to place them on markets. As a permanent fence for a meadow it is a lot of meters and would require a lot of maintenance.

    • @leelandforestfarm
      @leelandforestfarm 2 года назад

      @@godemontjan3050 hmm. I could see why it's not absolutely best for being permanent. Thank you! But maybe if I used some slightly larger green branches as well as thinner ones and didn't have the posts quite as close, I could make a bit of a hardier fence that would last a while. I will experiment. (We have a lot of free, thin branches that it would be awesome to turn into something useful) I could see why it's not absolutely best for being permanent though. I'm wanting a physical barrier around my sheep feild in addition to the moving electric fence inside.

    • @godemontjan3050
      @godemontjan3050 3 года назад

      Hey Alice, thank you.. The rods can be harvested a few weeks earlier without a problem . In winter they don't dry out real quick. 3 or 4 months seems a little long...I never waited that long. If you only have rods this old, you could give it a try. If they crack, they're too old😉it's not rocket science. Good luck!

      Hi Clare, splitting branches is not a necessity, even though it is a fabulous and challenging technique . I have some experience splitting hazel making hurdles, but must say that it is something that requires a lot of skill and practice and would discourage many people,so it wasn't included in this video. I would recommend anyone to give it a try. It was widely spread as a technique in Britain for making portable sheep hurdles from hazel.

    • @godemontjan3050
      @godemontjan3050 3 года назад

      Hey Tom. Thanks for your question. The bricks are only in place to create the small gap that allows to weed out whatever grows underneath a permanent fence. This example was just made for the video and dismantled entirely. Is the last question about how to make a door in your fence? If so, there you ll have to use another technique. First and easiest option is to make a door in an iron or wooden structure that can be woven in. The other option is to make a portable wattle fence and mount it onto a door. This requires another technique that is slightly harder. Never made a video about that one... . You ll probably find videos about it on the net.
