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?
