    Love this! I planted some willow trees some years ago, and coppiced them last year. I've got willow coming out my ears! Time to learn basketry, and this looks like a great project. Consider me a new fan!

    I love that drum beat and the obelisk looks very neat. When my willow gets that long I'll have to give it a go. I have the Hazel.

    This is wonderful! I've only seen weaving done with one weaving stick at a time but using two makes so much more sense! Now, if only my knife was as sharp as yours and the soil as fertile! Thank you so much - looking forward to more.

      Hi Brendan, that's cool your brother is here! I'm just going down to the river and harvesting it myself. I don't think it's found commercially here. Have noticed recently some willow obelisks at garden shop which would be imported probably. Not really a thing here, but I love it, so atmospheric! Cheers, Julie @@BigGreenArt

    That's really nice and you finished it very quickly! Do you plant the beans inside or outside the obelisk? I planted some beans and am ordering another variety soon for which one of these will come in handy if I can find enough sticks this size.

    So willow bark has the growth hormone your saying? Or is it that it kills the bottom?

    • @BigGreenArt
      @BigGreenArt  Год назад

      I shaved the bark off to stop it growing, as the bark has a growth hormone and the rods would grow when planted

      You can use straight away, as long as you strip off the bark at the bottom

      Climbing plants like peas and beans are planted around the perimeter and they climb up the cone around the willow, and makes for easier harvesting

      I used basically this same method to build myself a HUT once in an area of woods less than 3 miles away from my home in NJ USA. The hut is more than 8 feet across on all sides, is more than 12 feet high, and has a hole in the bottom of one side for an entrance way. With the various types of leaves and palm frond type branches that are available in the specific area of woods that this hut is located I can keep the inside of the hut dry under almost any precipitation conditions. Since this hut is completely round the constant breezes that blow during certain types of weather are also dissipated by the curvature of the walls easier than if the hut was a straight wall surface.
      I built this hut in 1992 when I was 28 years old. It's still standing, but every springtime I have to go back out there are do a little bit of repair and replace work.
      I even have a trench system that runs from outside the hut under the walls into the hut so that I can have a small fire inside the hut during cold nights and winter storms. It's like a Dakota fire pit and it's only as thick as my lower leg but it runs more than 8 feet on all 4 sides of the hut so that I always have more than enough fresh air to keep my fore lit as long as the wood fuel that I use hasn't burned off completely.

    • @betsysoutherland6069
      @betsysoutherland6069 2 года назад

      Most weavers grow their own. Willow is easy to grow. Most growers who sell rods only sell locally, most are willing to ship orders for cuttings that you can plant yourself. I have 40 willows for basketry. They like moist, well-drained soil and are prolific.
