I love your gentle pace and easy instruction
Like the video because he’s shownnot just because lots of videos to that but explain to why the process is the way it is that’s important
.
Awesome find. Just bought a homestead where I can use this technique. Thanks
What a majestic oak behind.
I think that “oak” you are referring to might be a beech
It is!@@barkershill
Wow Matt great video... we've been searching for one about coppicing and wattle fencing that says it all for the community learning project we're running in Felland Copse (Reigate) so a big thank you from team Sorbus!
I love this natural look and hate the flaying machine on the tractor so I’ve been starting from scratch and after 4 years the hedges look so much better but I think the local farmer that used to cut the hedges can’t understand why I’m doing it !!!!

Awesome stuff, you've inspired me to speak to my local farmers and do the very same. You can't beat looking at a well layed hedge. X fanx Mandy.
Great news Terry go for it 👍

Just had a look at anemone’s channel . By far the best channel dealing with this topic and woodland management generally .
Thank you, not too fancy and complicated with lots of my questions answered. Yes it is a pleasant activity!!!
Great video! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this. Absolutely loved the content.
Awesome fence, looking really good! Another good use for hazel is to make Hay Rakes, we do a lot of that at Carymoor! Keep up the great work and it’s fantastic to see the land being used for sustainable practices!
Willow or Hazel was what was mainly used, Ash had other purposes. Not to say they didn’t make them from Ash I’m sure someone has.
I thought hay rakes were meant to be made of ash
@@barkershill Yes, they are, I have made them from Ash and they are wonderful, I have one for my garden, try making one they are great fun!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to give this a go. A quick question if you don't mind. How long would you expect a hazel fence to last roughly? Many thanks
Thanks for the tutorial
Nice video! I love how In the Uk we use metric and imperial, depending on what we’re explaining 😂
Great video me acker.
I think we found the new bachelor
Uprights 12-18" Apart, Set ~12" into the ground
How long do the uprights take to rot in the ground? Do they sometimes root if the ground is moist?
I think spacing the poles one cubit apart is a good way.
can you replant hazelnut via the coppice?
If you want to build a longer one, how do you connect two of these together?
I,m afraid it's way off a traditional woven hurdle, I would point you to professional wattle hurdle makers.
The bottom is woven with six rods , I am retired now and get somewhat tired of people saying that these are how it's done, show us an image of a panel you have made?
I watched another guy making the panels you are referring to, and they are definitely done differently than this.
However I get the feeling this particular version is simply intended to stay in place, not be moved around in panel form.
Seems like this is suited just fine for that purpose.
Amazing video. Thanks. I would like to ask which is the cientific name of the the plant he mentioned at the very begining
Corylus avellana I believe
@@ebflegg really thanks
I thought for a while that you were going to advocate 'Neolithicing' the stems you need and leaving the rest. Great that you didn't. However, 40 years working in woods in the south of England (Surrey, Sussex, Hants, Dorset) convinces me that just putting a little bit of brash on cut individual stools does not work to stop deer browsing. Deer in the numbers your wood obviously has will browse the regrowth as it clears the laid brash. The regrowth will be cranked and unusable for hurdling and the vigour of the stool will be reduced. By cutting individual stools without cutting surrounding trees stools will be shaded and regrowth further compromised. Boot this comment off, if you need to, but go and look at this vid (from Dorset) to see the effects of deer browsing and a better way to protect the regrowth (and the ground and naturally regenerating trees) th-cam.com/video/3ueOyMVwG-0/w-d-xo.html
Hazeled?
What is the word he is using for shears? Not the loppers, the little ones.
Secateurs
@@davedavidson8408 thanks!
People need to just use a chainsaw or get proficient with the hook, silkies are such a slow and inefficient way to coppice
You've missed the point of this video....
@@sallypheasant5159 I'm a coppice merchant I got the point exactly, but this isn't coppicing, coppicing would be cutting half an acre of the hazel, not cutting one tree and letting it get shaded out
That man has secrets
