One of the fields where we planted a wildlife hedge missed out on its double fence due to it having a crop in there. Now the crop has been harvested we are now looking to put the second fence in. The first job was to clear all the vegetation that has grown over the last year.

I have started this process:-

It was interesting to see the contrast between a section that had been hidden by thick vegetation and was growing well:-

The section which wasn’t quite so hidden:-

It shows how the deer grazing has stunted the growth!

So, hopefully, when we get the second fence in place this will give the hedge a better chance of growing more quickly.
