For various reasons I don’t think we could put one along the full length of our current fence, but I hope we can make it work somehow. And meanwhile that Yardenalities webinar the other day gave me ideas for how to transition from dead hedge to fencing where we might need to.

Did u know?A great use of old branches is to make them into a dead hedge. I weave my old large branches into the fabric of my rose arch. It minimises trips to the tip & creates a handy cat barrier,allowing birds to feed safely on seed we put down. Go on,go weave. It's fun to do too #deadhedge 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦⬛
Massive limb fell in the Autumn 2025 Storms, perhaps #StormFloris
Note the #DeadHedge created to the west of the Oak.
Reusing/redirecting materials that otherwise require burning or landfill space and/or demand resource use for disposal is one of many benefits of a #deadhedge. For me, they’re restful to my eyes as well. We hope to incorporate one into our little landscape somehow.

Don't burn the brush pile. Build a dead hedge and let nature handle the rest!

This Beech #Tree has a #DeadHedge “Crown”, using the side branches, twigs and of course the rotten bits of the fallen Lime that has many insect burrows in it.
Should act as a good mulch, further guard from deer but most importantly a very substantial #Insect habitat and nesting site for #birds.
Volunteer Matthew Corser has been busy constructing a dead hedge to protect our growing trees.
Hear him talk about the process of creating them and learn more about how they deter the cheeky 🦌 local wildlife of Selborne!

Crazy year so far.. 1st-Snowmegden, then the ice storm (25% tree loss), now drought and forest fires all around us. I’m looking forward to Fall. #installations #naturaldisasters #gardening #1percent #mastergardener #mywork #everyone and #everybody #nature #deadhedge #woodweaving #lunamoth
#Walk with #dogs around our #DeadHedge
is a fence-like structure made from #woody #cuttings that provides #shelter and #food for #wildlife - #sanctuary 🦝🐰🐾🐸🐢🦆🐭🐞🦊🦎🦌🦔🦉🐌
It can be built gradually over time using prunings from hedges, fruit trees, and #ornamental #shrubs. 👍🏻
Vorher-nachher-Bild. Oben ein großer Totholzhaufen neben einem kleinen Baum. Unten ein spärlicher Rest dieses Haufens.
Auf einer Wiese auf einer schwarzen Plastikplane liegt ne Menge totes Gestrüpp. Rechts ist in die Wiese hinein ein Wulst aus Zweigen und Ästen ausgelegt, unter 1 m hoch und sehr licht. Blick über Wiesen auf ein Tal und dahinterliegende Berge.
Selbe Stelle wie voriges Bild. Plane mit Totholz ist weg. Die Geäst-Wulst in der Wiese ist jetzt ca. 2 m hoch und bildet eine deutliche, dichte Barriere.
Dieser Totholzhaufen zieht jetzt um. Transportmethode ist "auf einer Plane durch die Gegend zerren". Ziel: Die Sichtschutz-Benjeshecke am Garten-Eingang. Wer braucht schon Zäune, wenn man Totholz hat? :P

It will of course add another green corridor for Mount Briscoe’s biodiversity.
Have a great weekend folks.

Wiesenstreifen begrenzt von Nadelbäumen. Dazwischen weite Aussicht auf Himmel und Berge. Quer über die Wiese eine halbhohe längliche Wulst aus teils Totholz, teils beblättertem Gestrüpp.
Benjes-Sichtschutzhecke am Berggarten-Eingang ist am "Wachsen" bzw. wird jetzt von mir mit Schnittgut immer weiter aufgeschichtet.

Weeny move today so we could volunteer as part of the CRT Taskforce on Weedon's Puddlebank

A busy day today - planting #sweetpeas and #potatoes with Newton Primary and then over to Hope Garden to start building the #deadhedge 🌿🌻
#After stormy winds, collect all follow down branches in woods and place to #DeadHedge for #recycling & support #wildlife 🐾
#Dogs with our dead hedge - all around and in the middle of our property #🐕 👍
Highly #recommanded if you love animals and earth 🌎

On back is our #DeadHedge - provide hiding places and nesting #habitats for all sorts of #creatures.
As it rots down, the nutrients are #recycled back into the #earth below, meaning your garden 'waste' needn't go into #garden bins or bonfires

I started creating a dead hedge today to hide the collection of old barn wood at our “big kids camp.” I recently removed a large amount of privet from our forest and had a big brush pile to pull from.

Tiny honeysuckle plant next to mossy wood and twig piles.
Close up of moss leaves and spores.
Planted some wild honeysuckle at the allotment today. Hoping it will grow up over the "dead hedge" which I made for frens 🦔🐸🪲🕷🐦
Bonus picture of moss seed heads waiting to spore.

Many thanks to todays “dead hedge” volunteers.

This is a #deadhedge. I saw something about this on the net and decided to give it a try. The point of deadhedging is to attract & support insects. This pillar in my yard is about 7 months old. As the pile composts, just add more. Make #deadhedging trendy in 2025! 😃 #risuaita #Biodiversitymatters
Dead Hedge. Green and silver t-posts are featured every 4 feet, 18" apart, with dead branches and tree trunks stacked between them.
Earlier this week I experimentally built an eight foot section of a dead hedge. This is a technique for fencing that also provides habitat for the ecosystem. I'm nowhere near an expert on it, but it was quick, super cheap, and seems like it might be worthwhile on a larger scale.

A dead hedge is a wonderful habitat that’s full of life. Dead hedges provide hiding places and nesting habitats for all sorts of creatures, as well as food for insects. See RSPB guide here: https://shorturl.at/yinHm
#RSPB Guide on how to build a #DeadHedge. Suitable for most garden spaces. Can be built up bit by bit, whenever you do a little pruning and you can incorporate hedgehog shelter or open fronted nest boxes to extend this habitat. #WildlifeGarden #BiodiversityGarden.
