'Hedgelaying' is a fascinating traditional craft that's been passed down through many generations.
Hedges are essentially living fences, and like many plants we grow, we've got to look after them so that they thrive, just like you'd care for the plants in your garden. So we manage hedges on a cycle; even the best managed hedge will need to be rejuvenated every once in a while. ♻️
Mike Reed is a hedgelayer and can restore hedges back to their former, leafy selves when they've been left unmanaged for too long. With this technique, this hedgerow will thrive. 👨🌾The farmer will benefit, as will the local wildlife that live off the berries, shelter in the base, and use it as a little corridor to travel through fields. 🦔🦉🦋
