Apologies for the blurry photos. Getting an idea of what the hedge will look like with the vertical pieces in place. I have cut pieces to rough specs, bundled, and tagged to help make installation a little easier. Did not want to leave the Salix sections in the warehouse too long as many of them are leafing out.
Beginning to produce the wire sections that will be necessary to weave the larger verticals; need 580 total and you are looking at 210. The hand cramps when its mind thinks of the remaining 370.
I have continued to experiment with different wire bending techniques for bundling smaller sections. The second photo of the group above shows one of several solutions but the one which i will use. This is important as i have quite a lot of thinner sections which are aesthetically very pleasing and which can now be woven into a kind of textile and incorporated into the hedge.
I discovered the charred remains of a hedge row near De Land. The specimen above is a Maclura Pomerifera (Osage Orange) which once marked the boundary of an agricultural field. New boundaries are being made; old boundaries are being erased and disputed as agriculture continues its encroachment upon the uncultivated remains. The image top right is a totem to erasure.
