Coppicing and Pollarding

[@Vegancutie]

Watching your videos every Sunday morning is such a treat ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you so much for watching and glad to hear it is a treat for you. xx

[@Jendarhan64]

I always wish there was a "love" button, I really loved this video!❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you so much!! And you did send a love heart 😅 xx

[@voiceinthenoise3357]

I love how many positives come from a single action. Healthy exercise, fuel for the fire, rejuvenated trees, increased light, unsmothered pond, medicine from bark, and perhaps willow twigs for weaving?

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I know! it's incredible😃 xx

[@GiGiC14]

Terri your name suits you perfectly! I've been looking up people's names and yours Terri means "Reaper of the harvest" So true and facinating how our given names have so much relevance as to whom we are and what we do. Magical. 🕊️💚🧚🍀

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yes! I found that out years ago and found it fascinating as I am also Virgo which is associated with the grain goddess of many cultures. I never liked my name as a kid but have grown into it and feel it is me😃. It is indeed fascinating xx what about your name?

[@joanneoverstreet72]

I love your attitude and love for the greenies. Thank you for sharing. 💚🌱🌻🐝🐓🌲

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you so much! Xx

[@elliotodell9939]

Your work is so inspirational, I’m 22 and I hope one day I’ll know as much as you!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Well if you feel inspired already, I am sure you will seek out knowledge and install it in your life. Blessings xx

[@mariecoleman7216]

I enjoyed it ,Terri, thank you. It reminded me of my husband coppicing and chopping our trees through the years. Like you he said that it was thrice warming. Now he has gone the trees are growing skywards. We planted them all as little saplings...all except two old oaks and a few hawthorns...over 40 yrs ago. Perhaps wear some goggles when pruning. Eyes are so precious.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You are right Marie, Lol said the same. I will get some as I go around the garden xx

[@belindaboon9451]

Terri, I so admire your energy and drive! Seeing you work so hard motivates me to get up and moving as well. Happy pollarding! ♥

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Hi Belinda, hope you are well,. It's great to be out and about moving xx

[@Auntie7024]

Hello Terri, lovely shots of your mountains! It will be nice to have more sunny spots in your garden. It's so nice to be able to use all your cuttings for firewood, baskets, etc. Thank for sharing your video today. Take care. Have a blessed week. ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yes, it will be nice, quite different and nothing will be wasted xx

[@barbararoyal6139]

Good morning Terri ☀️🌿 Letting the light in, honoring the trees, using them in so many ways, everything looks wonderful. Have a great week🌼☕️🫖

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good afternoon Barbara! I am so looking forward to how it will all look - it will be much brighter . Hope your week is wonderful xx

[@samanthahoos9827]

❤I love how much kindling and firewood you’ll have to use. We fill old feed bags and buckets with twigs, store in our barn loft and use them to start fires over the winter months.😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

We store them in the turf shed. I was very surprised at how much we will have when all done xx

[@mariagamboa6249]

Congratulations in the landscape renewal but I see a beautiful outfit that you have 🙌 nice colors 🫶🏼

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Ha ha, in reality, just old clothes and skirt was 2nd hand, but thank you xx

[@christine6502]

I read about coppicing and pollarding for the first time ever in Ben Law's book, The Woodland Way. I find it astonishing still, the preserving of trees while still getting various usage from them. Glad to see you doing these old methods to care for your garden. Thanks for a unique video. ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it. Ben Law is so inspirational xx

[@Intotheout.]

You’re such a lovely soul… I enjoy your videos, and what to me, feels like good company. I appreciate you, & your time.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you for watching xx

[@zossvega9436]

This is a beautiful, informative video. Thank you so much!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad it was helpful! Xx

[@paulinebradley3974]

Thankyou for interesting advice was great watching you as always 👍

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad it was helpful xx

[@randolphfriend8260]

Yes! Lovely! The trees are SO much happier now. 💜 🎉 🎉 🎉 💛

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I think so too! xx

[@margriet5004]

Clearing, cleaning, purging, creating space and opportunity is such a great thing to do at the beginning of the year. I love the month of January for that, being it inside (as we still have loads of snow here up north in Canada) or outside. Happy full Moon and happy clearing ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you and I agree with your philosophy xx

[@bradlafferty]

The music is scored beautifully to the action!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks so much. Lol will be glad you spotted that 😊 xx

[@brianquinn5060]

What a blessing of nature you both are, Thanks.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you for watching, Brian, have a lovely day xx

[@lindajedele2934]

I love my willows. A few years back, I ordered some rods in different colors from a basket weaver in Ireland. I have been coppicing them each spring, so now I have some beautiful rods for baskets. I can't wait to start weaving.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Oh wow! Enjoy, I'm sure they will be beautiful xc

[@zebrawings22]

Great video thank you for sharing! On edge every time you’re waving the saw around lol

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Ha ha, hadn't realised. I do gesticulate a lot 🤣😂

[@raymondandmelaniebolton3775]

Such a beautiful video; re-energizing the trees, clearing the way for new growth; very positive. Mother Earth is so completely amazing. I love the idea of digging out the pond to encourage new life with frogs and other creatures. Willow is one of my favorites, but in the US, the roots ¨find¨water, they love your septic system which leads to costly repairs. The best place to plant willow is at the edge of a pond so there is a water source. LOVE your videos and I look forward to them on Sundays.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Mother Earth is so amazing I love that Life has to thrive and it is great to be able to help with that xx

[@lyndamarie1]

My gosh, what a hard worker you are! I just love your videos, and look forward to them each week. Here in Ontario Canada (I live on a frozen Lake Simcoe), it's wintry and cold, but I am planning my garden and dreaming about how to transform my gardens. You're a great inspiration! Thank you. ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you so much! Enjoy your dreaming and planning xx

[@armuver1]

Job well done there Terri and a good work out . Love your videos, always inspiring.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Lovely, glad you enjoyed it xc

[@gardentours]

Willow makes great kindling and firewood 🔥👍 I still have to coppice mine.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Great work, enjoyable and a great sense of satisfaction xx

[@johndayan7126]

I'm always excited to see a new film! Beautiful photography and music as always. Clearing out brush and trees is serious hard work, which I have to do all the time here in warm, humid (swampy) Georgia. It does get you out in nature, however, and it's great exercise. I highly recommend wearing some sort of glasses (safety glasses; sun glasses; etc.) as the brush and brambles can be quite dangerous. Some years ago I got a thorn in my eye. Very painful, but thankfully no permanent damage. I got lucky. Better safe than sorry. It really looks like Spring is on the way! Peace be with you dear friends. 💖🍀🌳🥀🌻🐝🐞

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yes, that's what Lol said too. I will remember that for the rest of the job. Much peace to you and yours xx

[@gypsygirl731]

I love your blue sweater. Considering the very beginning of how your land looked before you planted, I am glad to see how you do coppicing. I've never heard that word. It had been cold here, which is usa, extremely low temperatures compared over the past. I will now go out and do some myself. I think it would be a great idea to post a still picture of how your land looked 1st for all the newcomers to see just how far your land is now. Wonderful job. Thank you. I look forward to your videos every Sunday. You give encouragement. I wish you could sell your hawrhorn berry seeds to say like the 1st 100 viewers or perhaps at tour meetings you go to to give a talk. Vikki Hicks new york

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That's a great idea, will try that, thanks xx

[@mardinsabir4149]

lovely nature thank you for sharing

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for watching xx

[@hetty2974]

Good morning to you terri. Oh my word.,beautiful beautiful scenery xxhappy Sunday to you,now I shall watch xx😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good morning and happy Sunday to you too. I hope you and the family are all well xx

[@maxinedefty9462]

Thank you Terri, we did this last year, it's hard work and as you say it takes longer than what you think. Its pulling all the cut branches out of the way etc . Blessings to you Terri xx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

So true! Sawing is the least if it, but looking firward to seeing the new growth xx

[@sjoukjevanleeuwen]

It's a great job you are doing. We need light and a tree needs it too. 👍 🙏 ❤ Have a nice Sunday, with love from Netherlands.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

We need lots of light for sure. Hope your day is going great xx

[@JackieAustin-d1m]

Greetings! What I especially loved about today’s video was your example of being older, ( I’m not sure how old you are Terri, I’ll be 66 in a few days) and still getting out and doing physical work. I think a lot of women 55+ don’t think they are capable anymore. Having a garden is a great way to stay in shape as we age. Thank you for your examples of getting out, learning new stuff and living a modest life. I greatly admire you❤️

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It is a great way to stay fit and it's good to challenge yourself too xx

[@Wiccanways-L]

Terri you never stop. Best to keep busy than waisting your days watch rubbish on tv. Hope your kitties are settling in. 🐱🐱🤗🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

The kittens are now in charge, ruling the roost and yes, no time for rubbish on tv xx

[@juliecavanagh7399]

A garden is an ever-changing painting, so fun to reshape it every year!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yes, you are right. It will be quite different this year after this quite radical intervention xx

[@kyliemartin8524]

That sunset😮 so beautiful. Yes. I’ve had to cut down half of my bay tree last week. Some kind of nasty orange film? Fungus, growth has killed half of it dead. And on the main truck that menacing growth is on the base heading for the roots. Very sad. I planted is 22 years ago. And yes. She’s who cuts wood, gets warm twice.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Such a shame, sorry to hear that. Perhaps a Neem spray might help??

[@HelenWhiteley-kt8lw]

What a beautiful part of the world you live in! Thank you for another informative film. It has encouraged me to get out into my garden and have a good tidy up in preparation for the spring. ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Oh good. Then the spring work won't be overwhelming xx

[@jamieloom22]

The trees appreciate all the love and attention. Blessings xx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I think they do. I told them what was happening and I think they feel relief to get rid of all the old dried out branches xx

[@WendyBaker-c9o]

Thank you.❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You are so welcome xx

[@ginaiosef]

Thank you again! ❤ Those sceneries are gorgeous! And those mountains absolutely majestic, what a view! And you are shining while working, guarded by your dog-friends. Yes, there is no death! (and I know it from my own experience). Have a blessed week, everybody there! ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Hope you and everyone else has a blessed week too. xx

[@ginaiosef]

@DanusIrishHerbGarden ♥️

[@2000disneyland]

Your physical strength in cutting and pulling the tree branches down and away, is amazing!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I try, they weren't excessively heavy,ore cumbersome and awkward xx

[@margarertstewart9121]

Enjoyed this video. I am 73 now and in 2008 after a divorce, I saved for about 8 years and finally bought a little house on the outskirts of the city. It was a large double lot bordering a walking trail. I loved it. I planted over 150 trees and shrubs for privacy and I love trees. Most of them saved from construction sites and along the walking trail as well which gets cut back every year. Those same one-two foot trees are now 50 ft giants. Maple, Oak, fir, spruce, honeysuckle, high bush cranberry, and elderberry. I dug up a 8x10 foot pond at the back of the lot and I dug it 4 ft down to avoid frost. I put a liner in it, surrounded with rocks and put goldfish in the pond. I have had many fish survive our -22 C winters here in East Coast Canada and they have actually had broods (?). Sixteen years later the pond now has iris, lungwort, ferns, and hosta around the perimeter and the fish are quite natural in the habitat. I clean the pond every two years and the very fertilizing water feeds my garden, trees and shrubbery. I have so enjoyed the process. This year, the trees have canopied over the whole area so my garden is mostly in shade and the ground underfoot is all moss. I want my two planted apple trees to survive so I decided to trim back all branches 15 ft up. It shouldn't hurt the trees at all but I'm hoping it will make a difference with letting light in. If not, I'll live with it, it is beautiful to walk around in and sit by the pond. People really don't realize how therapeutic and peaceful any work outside is. We are natural stewards of the earth and unfortunately, becoming less and less so. Enjoy your videos immensely and Lol's beautiful music. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Great work, done with lots of love! I think if you can pollard you will be blessed with lots of plants thst will emerge from the shade xx

[@hetty2974]

Terri, definitely I need to follow this today. My very large bramley apple must be pruned in a big way,hopefully without hurting her,I may let my bantam s have the branches for perching. Also the birch tree must must have her limbs brought down to size..I dearly love them,but very small garden and light is needed.for some herb growing. I love the very sprightly busy but gentle qiutar. It certainly goes lovely with your working. Xxits a gorgeous sunny Sunday here.and im making notes today of the garden s needs.you have certainly made me feel more comfortable about dealing with my trees.im so grateful. I just love your films xx😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I think if you are careful and gentle the trees feel better and invigorated just as we do after a haircut xx

[@jeannetteceppi-verhoeff8309]

You are fantastic, doing all these workshop, i believe it gives much sadisfaction. Thanks .❤

[@jeannetteceppi-verhoeff8309]

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It gives a lot of satisfaction xx

[@karennewbury6430]

Greetings Terri and Lol. What a lot of work you have ahead of you folks. It's heartwarming to know the limbs and trunks you are cutting will be used for baskets and furniture. It might be nice to have a later video showing yourselves or community making these crafts. Have a great week. Blessings from (very cold) eastern ON. Canada.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good idea Karen. I can do that xx

Beautiful "earthing/grounding" time outdoors with your wonderful fur babies. Good exercise and fresh air! Life by the inch is a cinch. Thank you for blessing us all today. Much love.🕊️💚🌞

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Lots of love to you - so many positives from being outside xx

[@mikeinportland30]

I coppice Willow every year too for garden stakes and fencing (let them fully dry first or you'll grow Willow everywhere!), but also I like to weave the shoots into wreaths for friends when still bendable. We're not as windy here so shoots after years one and two are super straight!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good idea, and yes I have had some Willow take root unexpectedly 😂 great idea for uses and Lol gas put some aside for gates slreafy xx

[@eileencostilow7801]

I enjoy your videos every week and learn for much from them. I especially enjoy seeing your two precious pups and just want to give them a hug each time you show them to us. What are their names? Have a wonderful week and stay warm.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You too Cynthia and keep warm xx

[@melaniemayone-radford3665]

Well done Terri! It's a good work out , isnt it. I have 4 large hedges & two majestic Lilac trees that take it out of me. But the birds love them ...I just wish I looked as stylish as you do during my horticultural labouring 😍 maybe this year......😂

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Ha ha, these are my old clothes relegated to comfy garden clothes. It is a work out but feels good xc

[@tracyrupp4882]

I have a degree in horticulture and it's exciting to watch someone who really knows some appropriate ways to culture the trees. And I greatly appreciate hearing you explain to the alder what you're doing and why. We should never harvest or treat them without talking to them first. What love you show!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I do love them, and don't want them to be frightened or shocked xx

[@kerryl4031]

Stunning sunset and the mountains look wonderful! That's a lot of basket and broom material LOL! Hope you didn't get a sore shoulder, but the robin appreciated the clearance! Cheers Terri.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I didn't thank you, although my hand could feel the squeeze of the secateurs xx

[@michellelindie4475]

🙏🌳🌱Thank-you Danu 🙏😇🙏

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You are very welcome xx

[@johnlord8337]

If you ever wanted to cut down all those seemingly straight-branched willow trunks, ... one could go around the pond, dig down 2 feet and stick those full growth trunks back into the soil, and you could have a big trunk tree startgin to regrow roots, and you have a near-full aged tree filling in any needed wind or shade covering !

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I could, but I've just removed them to let theight in 😊 xx

[@Copawany7171]

I feel nourished in my soul watching your videos! You’re such an inspiration. Not just in your work ethic and skills and knowledge, but also your sweetness and kindness and reverence for Nature, which shine through. Beautiful music and great job filming and editing, too.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Wow, thank you! It is a tram effort with my husband. So glad you enjoy the videos xx

[@helenhunter4540]

Among other reasons I like your channel, it's nurturing and healing to see you, a woman, doing physical work. My mother did a lot of physical work, and so have I. It's life-making.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It is just normal for me. I don'tuje to sit around doing nothing xx

[@franklamanna8092]

I love video..its been really really cold here in the US too.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Warming up here, 10 degrees F and very damp xx

[@lisafulford5874]

Happy Sunday!!! Coppicing & Pollarding, two new concepts for me! I so adore everything about your video's that are always so full of information! More information about: preventing diseases when cutting limbs, etc & how to respectfully tend to the trees. Talking to them & explaining what you're doing is helpful. Are there prayers to say before cutting? So enjoyed seeing your beautiful babies & gorgeous scenery! Much Love from GA. , USA!☘😻🐶🌳🍂🍁

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I talk to them, thanking them mainly. If there is a risk of infection the branches can be covered with tar or with something that creates a barrier. Love to you too xx

[@lorihartzell7439]

So good to watch! We still have a few months until we can prune. But looking forward to it!! Thank you!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

[@mildredkrisik8888]

I am older and have a small 12" chain, battery operated saw which is very easy to handle. Of course one must be careful with all tools. Did you have some salve handy to put on your sore muscles? I love all your animals but especially the little dog. It makes me so happy just seeing him.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It was and it wasn't. Not too difficult to do but time consuming cutting off twiggy ends. Have a lovely week xc

[@MagickIsPower]

Perfect timing! I am looking into willow as a coppicing option. Thank you for another great video

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad it was helpful! xx

[@lianefehrle9921]

With all that wood to cut an investment of a battery powered chain saw would help you a lot. At my age I can’t work with a hand saw.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

The hand saw is fine for me, it is not difficult and I would be scared of a chain saw, I think they are quite dangerous. xx

Middle of January already.... they say Time goes by faster the older you get, but good grief this is getting ridiculous! I'm only 55 and it feels like Christmas is every 6 mo ths as it is lol Cheers, have a lovely week

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I've never known such a quick January!!! Apparently we are ascending which is why time is moving so quickly. Hope that is the case😃 xx

[@cherishd.8451]

I have always been told that the winter is not the correct time to trim trees because it opens the tree up and makes the tree "concerned" about the damage. I guess that is incorrect?

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I go with the theory that as the trees are in hibernation and the sap has gone down, there is less likelihood of infection and traditionally late winter was the time it was done. With Willows, they start flowering in February so this will give them a great boost and impetus to put up new growth. xx

[@Mossdala]

Nice! How soon after cutting would it be best to chip the small branches with chipper? I don't have my own woodchipper, but could maybe borrow it form a friend.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Quite soon before they get too hard but at same time depending on the branch, there is no panic xx

[@marydunn3867]

Hard work isn't it ,we've been pollarding our plane tree ,which gives wonderful shade in summer ,but in winter makes the house too dark. It will be as big again by the end of summer ,they have a manic rate of growth .Still cold here xx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It is a long old job for sure. I think that as these haven't been pruned before that they will also have a great rate of growth xx

Iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English as non native speakers. Best wishes for you your dearest ones . I hope I can learn a lot from your knowledge.
