Hiya all,
Just after a bit of allotment advice. I have been given permission to cut down a very large hegde that shades my plot. I'd say it was 10ft of blackthorn, dog rose and any other thorney thing you can think of. so have reduced it down to a meer 3ft/ 4ft.
Now have a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pile of hegde to get rid of. We're allowed bonfire so was thinking of burning some. Filling hegde with some kinda layering with hopes of keeping the munk jack (think thats spelt wrong) deer at bay. Theres a barbed wire fence on the other side of the hegde but its only two pieces. so could lay the old trimming to fill in the gaps. Will this work i know its not how to lay a proper hedge but it would get rid of some of the branches. Will they reshoot?
On the burning side of things i'm thinking small contained fire in old metal dust bin. My plot partner wants huge funeral pyre i'm not keen. Dustbin idea might take a while to get rid of it all. so then i thought i could strip bigger branches down and use as posts for fruit cage for strawberries or will the blackthorn resprout into giant cuttings.
Any other ideas of what to do with the cuttings? Would it burn on a open fire alright at home? There about 5-10cm branches.
Taking it all to the tip isn't an option either as there's too much and would take too long with my little car. Will bag up some and do it that way as well.
Note to parents do not leave middle size beans in car to play driving while you cut hedge even for a short time. They will leave the lights on and you will have to ring around everyone you know to get a jump start.
