Designing with wattle for small garden spaces

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I used sticks to build a very successful privacy fence. It is sturdy and durable, serves us for several years already, and is a wonderful stylish presence in our garden. Very unique garden solution. Also, I used wattle to define vegetable garden space. Come and see how I did it.

    Im totally impressed! I made one project with sticks, I used a tri-fold trellis, and strung sticks thru it to resemble a pine tree. Im really glad i accidently stumbled upon your page. Subscribed!

    Love the natural look of your wattle fencing! I realized the sucker branches on my apple and ornamental plum trees would be perfect sticks. Can't wait to try. Thanks for the guidance.

    Olga, thank you very much for your video. I made a flower bed wattle boarder out of sticks yesterday and love it. You are right, finding sticks is the hardest part.

    I know this video is a little older, but your tip about harvesting from people's front yard waste is so helpful! I don't have a private forest either, and I wanted a wattle fence around my garden but I don't want to buy the materials, that seems silly to me!

    I asked the forestry service and electrical people to leave their cuttings and mulched trimmings for me. What I don't use helps hold up the bank, since we cannot grow rivercane in that area, so close to the road.

    Love it. Funny I’ve been looking at this the past few weeks. There is a very useful video on KZread “how to make a medieval fence” by ta outdoors. I think every 6 or 7th cane he puts in a twist at the end and bends it back on itself to stop it sinking. Looks fantastic.

    Love the wattle fence. I have a chain link fence with a gate that goes into the backyard. I have plenty of sticks, as I save the ones that fall from the numerous trees in the back of the property. Maybe I will get energetic and try this project! The look is rustic and perfect for my taste!
