Fairies love this structures, fairys or wathever!😊

Beautyful work!

What species of willows does this work with? Particularly interested in species that can grow in Canada

It would be better if you put the camera on your chest so we can see much more clearly and not have your bloody arm blocking all the relevant weaving, and loose the volume on the music

That arch was cool but the fence is so amazing! It’s a dream com true

Which variety of willow plant is this ?

Hi Hanna, so glad to hear that you are well and good. Thanks to you I will have a mass of pollarded willow growth for next spring for all sorts of projects that you have inspired. Thank you and very Best Wishes.

4:08 did you use a handmade quilt to cover your outdoor steambox???

I want to buy some willow of a large living fence.

Thank you for a great tutorial ! Now all I have to do is find enough willows to work with. The music was a little much but I could tune it out by concentrating on what you were saying, reading lips and watching closely as you explained the weaving pattern.

You look like a van gogh painting

Nice 👍👍

Thank you so much for answering my question about deer

I love all the colors, your little helper 🐶 and all the birds singing 💓

I am so grateful that you did this. Thanks and love, from South Afrika

Do you prefer to avoid cutting rods from the existing structure because it would create more branches? Could one add some rods with the intention to come back in a year and coppice them so it would put out additional branches to weave in and thicken the walls?

Thank you for all the wonderful videos and the update on these structures. I am in Northland, New Zealand (inland, quite a bit of rain, humid in summer, cool in winter) with clay soil and have successfully grown Salix purpurea ‘Glenmark’ using weedmat to reduce grass pressure. I'd like to weave fences as low windbreaks using this willow - it it quite a strong rod that seems reluctant to stay where I want it - will this willow be suitable for a fence? Should I soak it before planting and weaving? I notice that you have thick mulch against the base of the rods, will that be ok in my more humid climate? Thank you!

Thank you for documenting this. The work you do is so important to the world right now!

Thank you greatly for this update, I often think of these structures and wonder how they are doing. You are very talented and I admire your heart.

You and Lauren sure did well repairing the first structure. A lot of work, and careful tending.

Can cricket willow be used for weaving?

Thank you so much. One day I will visit you. I'm living nearby

Thanks for the up date on these!

So heartbreaking to see your work treated so poorly! 😢 I’m so happy to see you were able to salvage it and get it stable again!

I’d like to learn to do this

Thank you Hanna! This is fantastic! I love seeing the update on the Living willow structures, and the hard graft you two put in restoring the structure! I am in the midst of growing a living willow retaining wall/pollard at our site here in Canada (west coast), I have chosen to use Salix koriyanagi "Rubykins" for the wall, as it has proven itself a good grower, and good for our site. The plan is to train it at 1m/3' high with the occasional high pollard so often, until it reaches good strength to support a raised terrace bed on the slope above the structure with which we can grow shade loving perennial vegetables. So I can stack the functions of gaining basketry rods, food/medicine production, and slope retention/terracing. We thought though, that we might install a mini swale on the downward side of the wall to better retain the rains. All the best as always!

I found that very moving, Hanna... Well done on the restoration, ladies.

Thank you for good teaching 🙏😊

Cuckoo spit is a froghopper

Thank you for taking your time with the video I learned so much

this' such a satisfying process 💚💚💚

How many weavers did you use so i know how many to soak, thanks ❤

Very beautiful ! Can I collect some willow branches from you for gardening?

Lovely to see a new video Hanna! Glad you took some time off to take it all in and to rest.

4:21 The tripod wanted to join with the willows.

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of ADHD-friendly, fast paced, informative and straight forward with no off-track/off-topic instructions that I’ve been trying to find since I decided to teach myself basket weaving a year ago! I rarely give up on things like this, but this time I couldn’t figure out how to do it. And it didn’t help that I had two kittens that treated my failing attempts as Cat toys and playtime, resulting in further failure on my part. But after this I think I get how to do it now! And my kittens are now «grown-ups», Yay! Will watch your other videos to prevent future failure😂 I never read instructions or join courses😂

Hi, thanks for videos, you let to see for everyone. Can I do ask? What month you start grow up willows life trees?

Thank you so much. I am just expanding my willow beds and will definitely try pollarding the new cuttings.

Where can I get the seeds. Please give the address.

Tk u so much for sharing . So easy to learn . Hugs from Brasil

😍

Thank you so much. This was an amazing video 😊

How long are the pieces of willow?

Where can I order some to grow here in the U.S.?

Leave out the music, it's distracting

Hey Hanna Can i just say i am so envious,not just of the studio your way of living Who helped family & friends??..Do you mind me asking,did you pay for help or do you all help each other out??..I would love to live in a community where everyone helped each other in diffrent ways..So much talent here,i love the slower pace aswell..i feel like this is how we should be living,this is how we used to live,no wonder there are so many people suffering depression..Its a throw away society things don't mean that much anymore.. Also do you have to pay for the land you live on??..I would love to live this way..i grow veg,i have started growing flowers aswell,making my own compost,would love to keep bee's,you never know. Sending love & positivity 💜☮💜☮

Very clear instructions. Thanks for posting!

What an inspiring video! I love how you share your process, your work, and your poetic thoughts all together. Thank you!
