  • Has anyone made a ‘ dead hedge’ ?

    Every year I shred quite a lot of branches both from my woodyard and garden to use as mulching.
    I’ve recently been looking into making a few dead hedges across the more open land of our back field. Mostly to help birds have a resting place, and mammals to seek cover from birds of prey and weather and of course for insects.
    I doubt they’ll last more than a few years( mostly hazel) but I could then shred them at that point instead, having created shelter for a few years at least ( and then of course replace them)…or maybe even build a few more!

    Has anyone made one?
    It looks pretty straight forward.
    Any tips please?

    It looks an interesting project Nicos and it’s bound to attract birds, bugs and other little creatures.
    We have brick walls around our garden so no chance of a dead hedge.

      I guess it depends on the size of a garden. It would make an interesting screen hiding a compost or water storage container.
      Doesn't need to be big!
