I hope we have half as much luck on Friday when the new builder resumes work on our back wall. Beginning to get seriously fed up looking at tarpaulin out the back now.

That looks great Finedon. How clever. I've never seen it done. When that greens up it will be just the ticket. Are you really happy with it ?
The back I am really, really happy with - yes. The front I am not so sure as really it is a load of saplings planted and I managed to walk through them very easily. As long as the yobos dont try their luck I will be very happy.
There you go - what a lovely job he's done. Hope you made him a cuppa hun!
I made him and his assistant 3!
He is comming back, hopefully tomorrow, to remove the two dead trees and take them and the rest of the rubbish from the roadside. Its gonna cost another £200 just to take the trees out but it only came to £500 today and the quote was between £450 and £600 so maybe not too bad eh? - what do you think?

Could you not put up a bit of temporary wire fence? Barb would be best! But sheep fencing if not?

A good hedge layer will take some scrappy bits and give you a decent barrier, just like yours has done.
But if there's nothing then sadly nothing is what you get.
I would strongly second the temporary sheep or pig wire fence idea, in or outside of the whips the chap planted, untreated or cheap chesnut fence posts don't last that well and can be broken at ground level once the whips have grown.
Nice to see that old country craft being given an airing on here.
Lucky girl, a properly laid hedge is quite fabulous and something I'd love to be able to do in a few years time (we have to plant something suitable and have it grow before it can be laid!).
Someone has been laying a huge stretch of field boundary on the A66 outside Cockermouth recently and it is so lovely with all the horizontal branches looking like they have been plaited togher. Yes, it will take a couple of years to bulk out again but when regrown will be completely stock-proof (and by association, yob proof too!).
