How to create a dead hedge

Steve talks us through the process of creating a dead hedge and why they are a great idea.

Hello.Thank you for filming. We are New Englanders and this is one form of hedge-making we use. Many spend money for lumber and cut rails, but this and fieldstones are the very best. Take good care.

Hi, thank you for commenting. Yes I totally agree! Best for so many reasons, but especially for wildlife it becomes home to!

Thanks for the video. I’m a passionate hedger! With mine I just keep adding dead material on top as it rots and the rotting matter nourishes the soil and also you have habitat for birds and bunnies while your living hedge is growing. A dead hedge is a convenient place to put your debris and put it to use rather than burning and it’s a great addition to our permaculture practices.

Hi, thanks so much for your comments! Yes, absolutely as you describe... We recently uploaded a "step by step" on another section of dead-hedge that we have been working on that highlights the points you have made... We'd be delighted if you would care to watch that video!

Thanks

All for new/old ideas that work with the earth. This will fit into my permaculture acre nicely. Thank you. Cheers

[@ourenchantedwoodland2343]

That's great! Yes it's completely fitting with permaculture and so easy to do

In much of US his would be a fire hazard but living hedge I like.

[@ourenchantedwoodland2343]

Yes this is true, we'll be creating live hedges shortly, watch out for the video

[@barkershill]

If this gives you pleasure then fair enough , but it will just rot and collapse in a short space of time

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

I think you’ve missed the point of the hedge.

[@ourenchantedwoodland2343]

This I totally fine an Pty of the process,when this happens the hedge can be topped up. As it rots doN this continues to provide a living habitat for wildlife
