The best thing you can do with willow sticks!

Willow is really simple to turn into an amazing array of different and beautiful creations. I will show you a really easy way to make a really pretty bird feeder that will look great in your garden or as a gift for a loved one!
We are trying to be as gentle on the Earth as we can here on our smallholding, with a little help from Hazel, our big white pup!

Loved this video! Would love to see more willow crafts on your channel. Will be eagerly watching from the U.S.A in Maine!

Hi, thanks for that. We have lots of different colours of willow, and we will be doing some more weaving!

[@yatchacs]

great technique, thanks.

Glad you liked it!

Really glad to have found your channel a few months ago. I’ve subscribed and I’m learning loads from you. Just wondering how high you had to do your deer fencing, and how effective it has been? We are struggling in West Yorkshire because they’ve eaten most of our apple trees and a lot of the Willow whips we have planted. 👍🏻

[@theviewfromtheclouds]

Thank you for that! Sorry to hear that your trees are being eaten by deer. Our fence is about 1.8 meters tall because there are red deer not too far away and they can jump fairly high. If you have any other type of deer, 1.5 meters will be fine. Do you have much land to fence in?

Great little basket. The basket could be used for growing some orchids and other epiphytes eg Christmas and Easter cactus, providing it doesn’t rot too quickly. I’ll have to make some. Thanks

[@theviewfromtheclouds]

I think I will have to try that.

Willow is very wet and not great firewood

[@ChristisKing9292]

It seasons quite fast from what I've read.
