Thank you for this video. Super clear instruction! I’m in the States hoping to do a hedge experiment on my property with something that grows well here. I’d love to learn more about the initial preparation and planting of the hedge line.

I guess part of the base must still be alive for sap to travel to higher up . Make sure that’s not the bit you cut through obvs .

Its a good video, all the right ideas and intentions. But can we, for the love of whatever, stop calling it "biochar" like it is some magical thing? Its charcoal. Its made by the same process (if you go down to chemistry), from the same feedstock and afterward is 100% indistinguishable from charcoal. If you pour compost liquid into it, its inoculated charcoal, but charcoal nontheless.

@GlynisDance 5 ай бұрын
Yes, I thought biochar was made by heating at high temperatures (compared with charcoal) in the absence of, or very limited, oxygen. That's (so I've read) is supposedly what makes it more porous, containing more minerals, more environmentally friendly and much longer lasting than charcoal. I've seen quite a few "biochars" that look like charcoal to me.

Sycamore seems like an odd choice for hedge laying. Is there a reason for choosing this tree over other more common species like Hawthorn?
@barkershill
@barkershill 7 ай бұрын
No . My guess is that it just got into the hedge by means of wind blown seeds . Having said that though I have seen quite big sycamores successfully pleached and laid , so if that’s all you got then that’s what you have to make do with .

My father grew up on a farm in Devon between the wars and would talk about the winter job of "hedging and ditching". The soil in the ditch would be cut and lifted with a lazy jack (long handled shovel) and placed (slapped!) onto the side or shoulder of the bank. His lazy jack, made by the local blacksmith, now hangs in my shed ready to dig my runner bean trench. Along with a couple of his billhooks and a staff hook.

Interesting but after very many years of burning my brash after hedging I now have a total no burn policy. Find room somewhere for pushing it up in piles,birds nest and gain much protection from predators and when you see half the world burning you feel your doing something positive. Think hedgehogs, toads and so much more.

Always wondered how hedges got so dense using normal trees that naturally grow straight up. Can this be done with beech trees? I planted a line of beech around my front garden and wanting a natural fence. I planted them this year so they are only about 4ft tall. How long do i need to wait to do this process?
