- My Dream Smallholding: Planting a living Willow "fedge" - Super warm day :')
Hey! Welcome back to another episode everyone. If you're a returning viewer, thank you so much for the support! If you're new, welcome and good luck haha.
In this episode, I braced the warm cosy weather to start planting my willow "fedge" (fence/hedge). I'm using 7ft living Flanders red willow, from Musgrove nursery, Somerset.
The staking in the ground was insanely harder than initially thought. My palms were hurting for weeks after this.
I appreciate all of you, thank you so much for tuning in. Please give my accounts a look and follow, if you like them. every little helps.

I just wanted to say, a massive thank you, to all of you. For your precious time in this busy World. I appreciate you all. Stay kind and curious ❤
Snow looks great on the land! Willow fence takes a lot more effort but it's so worth it - looks supberb!
It is a suprising effort! I thought it'd be easy haha. Silly me! Thank you, as always
Your willow hedge looks good and will be lovely for your sheep and wildlife too.
Thank you very much. I ended up planting around 2000 willows 😅. The one by my stream is my favourite 😍
Blinking heck lad, you've got me freezing just watching you. 😮. Plenty hot drinks and warm breaks. Take care ❤
Hey Lindsey! Haha awh thank you. Bare in mind, I went through this and much worse. But it's done and gone in the past now. Looking forward to spring popping out. Thank you, as always for your time.
I am enjoying watching these so much. You are so lucky to have found such a nice spot, and well done for being so caring about everything and nature. The chance to plant a wild hedge is a special thing, something to watch grow and enjoy. Well done, much joy from watching, and it's also nice watching you as you are nice looking and friendly.
Thank you for such kind words and compliment. Makes me smile knowing people genuinely like it all too. I'm most looking forward to laying some of the hedges in about 6 years time. "The best thing we could've done yesterday, was to plant a tree. The next best thing it to plant one today"
@@offthegridwales Hello, will you be doing more of your vids soon. I keep looking out for a new one, to see how things are going.
So many of us watching, will be thinking ‘what a dream life’, without fully realising how hard it is. Total respect for what you’re doing and keep the video’s coming
Very kinds words. Thank you very much. To get it up to the standard is has been and still will be a big mission. But it's worth every moment.
Good job . I like your idea of a green hedge .
Thank you! The sheep just saw scratching posts when they eventually joined in hahah
I've been following along your journey and its great to see your progress so far. Keep them coming. Looking forward to see more.
Thank you very much Azz. I'll be back uploading shortly. Had a bit of a mare this spring with weather and tasks.
Great progress. It's looking good 🤙
Thank you so much 😁
You get some rotten weather there mate, rarely see snow here on the Cardigan Bay coastline. Fair play to you for getting out in it - and getting on with it!
Aint that the truth haha. This winter has been the worst...So much rain and so many storms. It's hard on those days but you've gotta keep moving :). Thank you for your time and comment.
You have reminded me to get my willow hedge done pretty soon. Love the video yet again. Top Man
Thanks a million 👍🙏. I've got some fresh rods to get in this weekend too. Enjoy and goodluck planting 👏
Love these videos you’re doing a great job 👍
Hey! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it 🙏 😄
That looks amazing Callum 👏👏👌👍
Thank you guys! One of my favourite things to do now, weave willow :D. Hope you're well.
@@offthegridwales all good. Even better once the rain stops soon😂👍
Hahah I hear that 🤣 😂!
a very interesting 'growing fence' - 'Fedge' please keep it updated as i would love to see it when it's growing & how you 'weave' it
loving your videos
thanx for sharing
p.s. would love to see inside the old house too?
Thank you very much for such kind words and interest Selina. New video soon.
You will find willow grows fast in wet ground we grow willow on our farm for cricket bats ! Another great video !
No way John, that's amazing. Willow is now my good to, for weaving, planting and craft. I love it. 4 willow types on site now.
Loved your little compress the soil around the little willows dance!
Question, with the willows so tiny, is there a risk that your sheep ladies have a bite, a little dessert of willow?
… and as you can see I have no real clue what sheep’s are eating.
Hahah YES! So glad someone else noticed it, it was like a little 2 step dance haha. Willow is a natural forage for sheep, which is one of the reasons I planted it. That first section hasn't done well, due to it being a great scratcher. It's all fenced off now :).
Wow I don't believe you are still getting snow
It gets cold in the hills 😂🤣 (don't forget this is another month)
@@offthegridwales ahhhh ok I see lol, it's very mild here I got my spuds on today.
It is slowly getting warmer here, thankfully. Some tree buds coming out too. Sweet! I hope they're a success.
@@offthegridwales me too mate lol.
