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! 🦔
Brilliant video.Thankyou Jan and translater! Can I use broadleaved branches still with leaves on or is it best to wait until later in the year when leaves have fallen? Thankyou.Dank U .Gwenda
Thanks Goon, I think your reflection is very accurate . I thought about it too, because dry periods are increasing in my part of the world . Dead hedges are on their best in shady moist areas with shrubs and trees closeby. I wouldn't construct any in full sun or right next to a building.

Hi Gwenda, you can off course. Only thing to consider is when your tree, shrub prefers to be pruned. Lots of luck in all of your garden projects!
I'm interested in these but worried about them being a huge fire risk?
