- One year on from our first video here • How to create a dead h... , we've learnt more and porgressed on our technique.
We show you from beginning to end and how to create your own.
Dead hedges are very much alive with wildlife and they can be as neat or as messy as you desire.
I made my first dead hedge over the winter. It’s such a great way of getting rid of waste wood.I think it looks just wonderful. Great video 👍
Aaah, wonderful! I hope that you enjoyed the process as much as we do, Helen... We love that its a "3 jobs in one" activity,.. Cutting what isn't needed and transforming it into a lovely dead-hedge that is needed, plus, in the process, generally tidying up everything as you go! :)
Hello! Just love your channel. As a generational northern New Englander we share many of the same methods . Now in N W Florida , with this island being discovered, I am flabbergasted by their insane management of allll flora and fauna. Yes dead hedging is the way! The hedge is always lovely and useful. Again, thank you kindly. Kelsey
Thankyou so much! Totally agree with dead hedging 😉
Great video. We love dead hedging too. In fact we have plans to create a dead hedge alongside the track that borders our woodland. Looking forward to doing it.
Thankyou for sharing . Diane (woodland tales)
Wonderful, please keep us posted!
So interesting, thank you for all your advice.
so glad it helps!
Oh hazel wood is beautiful. I miss my woodlands and fields of far Northern Vermont, but my daughter and Mathew are on the vast lands readying now for sugaring and not sleeping whilst the sap runs!
Yes and we have LOADS!! Sugaring, is that making sugar?
@@ourenchantedwoodland2343 maple syrup! Lol
The sugar maple.
This was a fun video. Thanks for sharing. I started thinking to make piles, but I'll try the cut wood hedge/fence too!
That was really helpful. Thanks 🙏🏻.
So glad that helps!
This is great..fantastic way to live,good luck!
Thanks Trevor! We are enjoying the process, that's for sure! :)
Loved it, thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much Gitte! We hope that you are in a position to create your own dead-hedge and contribute towards the creation of a wonderful habitat for so many creatures, large and small?
Im making a deadhedge because I believe its probably the best fencing for goats and its free
you'll have to make it high enough as goats love to be on top of things!
I have a ton of pendulous sedge and brambles that I’m clearing I’m adding that making a sedge hedge? Haha, not much wood at the moment but I’m thinking it will be still valuable to wildlife, insects mammals etc
if its valuable to insects and mammals then that's perfect. Sedhe hedge love it!

As nice as wattle!
Very true! Wattle is lovely and we intend to do some, however dead hedges are great for all those dead and cut branches, and garden waste
👍
Looks like a wrens nest!
The size is yes small like a wren however Wrens normally build a a dome shaped nest,made of moss.
@@ourenchantedwoodland2343 Some wrens, but you may be correct. Different bioregion.
I thought you were referring to the dead hedge looking like a nest!
We have wild boar that are nasty and infested with numerous parasitic infestations and more. They are fierce.
Oh wow..yes wild boar are highly destructive, not good but hey better, to keep them out than kill them
@@ourenchantedwoodland2343 very true as they til the earth.
They are fierce, but thankful that they come into the untouched part of the woodland. They're magnificent beasts
The Capistrano migratiry birds have been stopping in.
Beautiful! We have cranes flying overhead on their way from Africa to Scandinavia. Incredible sight and sound.
@@ourenchantedwoodland2343 amazing!
