A living hedge / fence aka "Fedge" is a woven living creation, made from a range of material, in my case willow. Having been given access to a small willow plantation deep in the west riding of Yorkshire the potential to kit Al and Lotty with some water sucking, green lusciousness, bendy willow fence excitement sounds like a win win scenario.
There are plenty of examples around the internet of living hedges, and plenty of tips on how to plant and create a Fedge

So after a few hours of harvesting and an hour or so of plugging (my word for sticking then willow whips in the ground).......
More photos to follow....
After 7 years on the waiting list we finally were given "Lotty" a 4.5m x 30m plot. Litter strewn and overgrown 2015 saw the start of the journey. August 2016 saw the addition of "Al" a 8.5m x 25m overgrown jungle... The quest continues Thanks for stopping by.
