Orchard Hedge Laying. Revisited

You may remember back in March I was doing some hedge laying.  Back then it looked as though we had killed the hedge, although we knew we had not as this is something that has been done for centuries in the English landscape. As I said back then the hedge would soon start shooting and shoot it did and is now a full hedge.

Here are some photographs showing a comparison of then and now:

You will also notice we have had time now to finish the hedge properly and add the heatherings. This are made of bramble woven together and around the stakes.
