  Too much physical labor that will end up making us skinny. :) Beautiful work. I wish I knew about this early on while working my property. As an American, it's not the norm here. We love ugly barbed wire.

  Hedges will grow upward. To be stockproof , after all thats thair purpose, you need to lower your angle .that will tighten the job up and avoid wind rocking the cuts.otherwise nice tidy binding. Or heathering as we call it in bucks

  I wish we had this tradition in the US. But we aren’t old enough. There might be some in New England, but I think it’s mostly stone walls. Here in Kentucky in the Bluegrass region a lot of the old horse farms are separated by natural stone wall too. Locust trees could be made use of for hedgerows here as well as Holly

  Osage Orange was the most planted tree species in the US for about 100 years before barbed wire was invented. Within 5 years it grows horse high, bull strong and hog tight. The US has a fantastic history of ingenuity and craftsmanship.

  Having a multi layered hedge or a screen planting actually reduces fire risk as it catches stray embers, and shields against radiant heat. You want something that is relatively dense for shielding, but still not too dense as to allow airflow through the trees otherwise wind will blow over instead of through which is what you want. Contrary to popular belief there are plenty of native plants that work well for this. If you want something like traditional hedgerow like the ones with spikey hawthorn without planting actual hawthorn since it's pretty weedy here, cockspur thorn is a fantastic plant. It produces abundant edible fruit (it's related to figs and mulberry), it's native, it's fire retardant, and would be great as a protective hedge and at keeping livestock in, as well as being a great habitat plant. In fact it's close and more well known relative osage orange has been used for the same purpose. The plants are long lived too. Less spikey options could be something like salt bush, it's great stock fodder, won't burn, some species are edible for humans too. Other natives that are resilient can be plants like brachyciton species like kurrajong, kangaroo apple, even certain wattles as long as they haven't died, those are a few options.

  Just another example of nature provides. it’s amazing the skills that were passed on since the Neolithic times I am an American of British descendants , and not only the major contributions the British people have given to the world, but the simple ancient ones as well. It is a precursor to mankind accomplishments from that age. On.

  Hedge laying is a tradition that should be mandatory for all farms especially roadside, the way farmers are obliterating hedges in Ireland with flails is a disgrace, they should be fined minimum €2000 for every hedge on each field, or given some incentive to lay the hedging,
