Superb..just what i needed to learn

Why not just buy chain link fence from the Home Depot? I don't have sticks laying around all over the place. Besides, this destroys the earth by raping it of the debris that would normally decompose and nourish it.

Hi Catfish, I understand your genuine concerns but you are mistaken. I have worked for wildlife organisations cutting hazel for a living for 15 years…the trees live up to 800 years but only 80 or a 100 if not cut down regularly…doormice, songbirds and wildflowers all thrive as a result and some would die out completely if it was left to grow..because it becomes unsuitable for them as habitat…and there is little else that is similar in 21st century Britain.

I'd call open-cast iron and coal mining 'raping' long before calling cutting a few hazel rods the same.

@BeepBeepBoing Well this is from woodlands.co.uk and I would have thought they know what is a hurdle and what isn't. I have just visited their website

congratulations, you completely missed the point of the video 😉

Nice and healthy way of making a living this, need an apprentice ? ^^

@entmage The hurdle is the end result i.e the panel of fencing. Wattle is the construction method of weaving the lattice of wooden strips. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

I see now the origin of the term 'hurdle' in the track and field sports.
