Planting a Native Hedgerow with Bareroot Plants -- Wild Food Abundance

The back bank at the new house has been an ongoing project and you'll have seen us remove the black plastic sheeting from in a recent video (https://youtu.be/G-9ZdLAxI4I). Today I show you exactly what it will be in the future -- a sixty-foot long native hedgerow made up of sloes, crabapple, elder, cherry plum, hazel, and much more! It's a Gin Makers Hedge and one that will be beneficial for wild birds and animals but a place that I can forage from in the future too! This is a planting video and I take you through what bareroot shrubs are, an introduction to the bundle of hedgerow plants I have, and how to plant them into a single dense hedge. As usual, Maggie makes several appearances and nearly destroys some of my plantings too 😹 HUGE THANK YOU to Hopes Grove Nurseries who gifted me this pack of hedgerow plants. They also gifted me two other sets some years ago for our allotment and also the Isle of Man Beekeepers. Incredible company, nice people, and quality hedging.
