Creating 'dead hedge' — rosybee - plants for bees

In our grounds we are lucky enough to have quite a lot of trees, many of them quite elderly and so have a tendency to fall down in high winds. These include a lot of hazels which were coppiced many decades ago but have been left for a long time. This has caused their oldest limbs to get too big and

Dead hedge

Dead hedges are formed from waste woody material. Posts are driven into the ground on either side of the hedge and stems cut from coppiced hazel or willow trees are woven between them to create a strong, durable structure. The base of the hedge is generally made up of larger pieces of cut wood or logs. This forms an ideal habitat for invertebrates such as beetles, which assist in breaking down the material.

“You can use a Dead Hedge to:
🪵 slowly decompose carbon-rich organic matter (that you would have otherwise thrown away) into humus-rich soil
🪵 act as a windbreak, which can help to create a microclimate ideal for growing edibles
🪵 contain open compost piles
🪵 hide away your stashes of garden rubbish
🪵 serve as a border between properties, urban gardens, or allotments
🪵 help prevent erosion
🪵 attract fungal organisms to your patch
🪵 create a refuge and ecological corridor for wildlife 🐸🦎🪲🦜

This technique is a much more sustainable alternative to using a bonfire to get rid of garden waste.
