    It looks so easy to do a beautiful wattle fence in the garden! There are several things we need to know before tackling this project. I am ready to protect my clematis and build the wattle fence from scratch. Enjoy!

      In some cases, it utilizes something that will go to waste; is far more environmentally friendly since it does not use materials which are massed produced and massed transported; it provides an excellent way to exercise in the fresh air. I am sold! PS. Other than using gasoline to get to and from the source of the wattles, it is free! I especially love that part!

    Absolutely beautiful. I love sticks; hurdles, teepees in my garden. Natural, sculptural, environmentally friendly and a fine way of using garden scraps. I have seen pictures of herbs bordered with woven sticks like these and also square 'baskets' attached to the ground surrounding lush patches of violet flowers.

    I've been wanting to do a project like this for years. Every year I cut back the trees on our property, and while I use the leaves for mulch, I also keep the sticks. The little wattle fence is very cute, and adds a rustic and historical feel to your garden. I was most excited to see the trellis you have next to the place you were soaking the sticks. Store-bought trellises are so expensive, and I love the natural look. I'll be back to check out more of your projects.

    Beautiful work. A good excuse to plant yourself an American Hazelnut or even a Willow like the Salix purpurea so you have a steady supply of material for your wattle needs! I recommend looking into willow basketry and hedge laying to see how they use the long rods to make a rope-like edge treatment that really binds all the vertical pieces together and adds a bit of pizazz to the finished fence. If you opt for the hazelnut (Corylus americana) you also get the benefit of good nuts to eat! Throughout Europe, the hazel and willow coppices are an ancient tradition because they grow fast and produce much needed wood for projects all around the homestead. Wattle fencing is just one example, and I love seeing you bring a little bit of that to your garden.

    • @OlgaCarmody
      @OlgaCarmody  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Thank you for your wonderful advice. I already thought about planting Salix purpurea, but can't find any place in my garden for it, unfortunately. And European tradition of using wood in the homestead is just wonderful! Happy gardening!

      @@OlgaCarmody Alas, I'm in the same spot regarding the willow. Nobody in all the state grows it for basketry and such, so I thought I'd grow it myself. But where? Such are the trials and tribulations of the gardener!
      For inspiration, you might like Abell's channel. He cultivates Hazel and others woods, and uses them to build some of the nicest screens you could ask for.

    You can also use rehydrated willow boughs as they will not shrink and break. I also use a similar technique to make rhubarb guards. This keeps the leaves off the ground and discourages slugs.

    Mulberry trees are incredibly invasive in the right conditions,and their yellow tap root runs deep. In early spring i go over my property with a fine tooth comb,removing unwanted saplings. If i find a pecan or hickory sapling,i will dig it up and plant it in a large pot with potatoes around the roots. This feeds the sapling,giving it sustenance,and moisture. Eventually the saplings can be sold or planted in a desirable place or wood lot.

    • @OlgaCarmody
      @OlgaCarmody  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Right point, John. That mulberry found its way into my property, probably from with the help of birds and every year after the berries fall down, I go around and take all the young saplings, just like you!

    I want to build raised beds to grow vegetables, fruits and herbs. I really dislike the use of lumber. Do you think that a wattle fence lined with metal netting on the inside will work? I want it 12” tall and plan to fill the bottom 5” with straw/hay and fill with compost and composted manure. I know that I will be replenishing the contents each year. If I need to augment the wattle fencing, it wouldn’t be a problem. Labor intensive, but not an issue. 😊
