Awesome video as always. I'm really glad i found your channel. I hope you keep making videos. It's allways a delight. Especially when i have to study for my abi (finals in germany) and want to procrastinate.

[@iboughtafield]

Thank you for such a lovely comment :) I hope your studying goes well

Lovely video and an entertaining watch.

[@iboughtafield]

Thank you Mike. Does it look like your field is going to go through?

[@sowgroweat6987]

@@iboughtafield nope I was outbid again ... very dissapointed as it was right on the coast 😞.

[@iboughtafield]

@@sowgroweat6987 I am sorry to hear that. Land is very difficult to buy compared to houses. I hope you have more success soon.

I must say, that “camera mam” of yours has impeccable taste in jackets :P

[@atticbrowser9698]

Beautiful

[@iboughtafield]

Thank you :) The whole structure has survived the planting and has lots of new growth I've weaved in. I will try to get an update at some point

[@gcrbn]

Amazing as always. But I have a question: do those living tunnels "stay alive" for a long time? Also, in the future you could make a video on how to mantain them

[@iboughtafield]

That is a great idea. I assume they will last for a long time maybe 20-30, but I will have a look and get back to you

[@gcrbn]

Alright

[@iboughtafield]

@@gcrbn I am not sure. I could not find an answer. The canes should merge together within the first 3 years. I suspect if the structure is well maintained then it could last for ages. I was wondering whether contant rubbing between the branches may open them up for infection, but then hedges last for years and I think in general pruning is quite healthy for them. Willow itself is quite hardly, it could suffer from alphids or disease which would cause me to start agan, but apart from that I think last for decades... I can give you an update in 30 years about how it is lasting :D

[@gcrbn]

Alright (again), thanks for the information. It would be nice to have that update in 30 years XD

Guys will see this and say "hell yeah" 👍

Weave up a couple chairs and a table!

[@iboughtafield]

:) I really want to try weaving a chair

​@@iboughtafieldYou can do it! Just start it as child size so by the time it can support your weight it should be the perfect size. Otherwise it'll be huge like knight in armor huge. 😂
