- One of our new(ish) hedge oak pollards coming back to leaf & looking great We wanted the oak that popped up, but didnt have the space for a full canopied whopper This keeps it compact, gives us woodfuel on rotation and makes a great tree
- Fernhill farm open day was incredible. I got to show people some amazing hedges in a traditional laying cycle. I got to meet the wonderful @thread.and.yarn who has a hedgerow shawl knitting pattern (love!) and even learn about bark-ometers from Andy Rummings
- I'm going to be at the Fernhill farm open day in the mendips today Ive been to the farm &drooled over their hedges before, do cant wait to be leading 2 sessions tomorrow; one practiacl management for farmers, one general knowledge for the public Lots going on all day!
- Happy equinox to those that celebrate!
- Can't keep a good beech down! This one used to be a layed hedge...
- @elenapearce.bsky.social A fantastic talk! I use the open-mosaic wildwood to explain how cultural habitats which mimic this structure are so biologically diverse It can inform how we manage farmed habitats to integrate more diversity. Not just the structure but the temporal & spatial dynamism
- I passed a worm this morning, worming its way down a concrete underpass. Itd progressed 3m since I passed it earlier Instincts were failing it. There was nothing for it down there. To the confusion & disgust of passers by, i took it to a scrap of grass, to face other town dangers
- Today is the 40th South of England hedgelaying competition! More excitingly, its my husband (TomTheHedgelayer)s first time competing Its misty. The skylarks are singing. Its already more exciting than it has any business being

- Today I'm at a hedgelaying competition (as a spectator!) in Cambridge on @linesmartin.bsky.social farm They're laying a young maiden hedge. This will thicken it right out from the base, make it a lot more robust, better for wildlife etc Also a great time to get those damn spirals removed
