UPDATE - Speaking to Middy a couple of months ago, he told me that the hedges were laid during WW2 as they needed to increase the food yield to feed people, so the hedges were cut back and laid to make the fields wider therefore increasing the field size for more crops to grow. Sorry to say that my friend Middy recently passed away peacefully from a mix of different ailments, which ultimately and collectively took its toll on him , He will be very sorely missed by me and all who knew him. RIP My Freind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1605108736781-80X27ZS21XX5PYX9KX4Z/young+middy+001+%282%29.jpg New Page https://www.hedgeandhazel.co.uk/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1602523024238-MDZCN830MR87JHVJ9A6M/IMG_6373.png Gallery of Hedge laying work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1598478623306-TTH9VWH40V6S5D9317LO/Barnet+hedge+job+before+laying.png Gallery of Hedge laying work Barnet Enviromental Centre 50 yrds of Hawthorn Before being Laid in Herts style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1598479635440-40H7C103Y5KA53HN29FY/IMG_6685.JPG Gallery of Hedge laying work Barnet Enviromental Centre, after Hedge Laid in the Herts style with brush on both sides of the hedge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1601494236888-X51FUQUHFRRKK91UKCLW/95662981_610157166273793_2601052831775457280_n.jpg Gallery of Hedge laying work Me Starting a Hawthorn Midland Hedge Improver Day on Jersey Farm Woodland Park Sandridge, St Albans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1601644257555-RG2WFQO8TUHILVBRPDJA/midme.jpg Gallery of Hedge laying work Me and my Friend Middy Page who helped me to take up hedgelaying and shared his knowledge with me. 12 yards of Hawthorn Brookmans Park after being laid September 25th 2007 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1601645164179-HLQPAD6PTN02XJURG4BM/048.JPG Gallery of Hedge laying work 12 yards of Hawthorn Brookmans Park After laying spring regrowth doing well https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1602524585017-0SX0IKA3T1U57LQ9G46N/019.png+northaw+hedge+before+laying.png Gallery of Hedge laying work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1602525008205-C1HGY2V6JYZNEEBYY1RV/043.JPG Gallery of Hedge laying work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1603822552349-Q3GX1NU24X9PC810Z7FA/thumb_P1090892.JPG Gallery of Hedge laying work We;wyn Garden City 20 yrds Winter 2008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1603824217198-9D530QOLGBH1MMGYHB57/P10908962.jpg Gallery of Hedge laying work Same hedge laid and edders woven to top bind it to strengthen the build of hedge https://www.hedgeandhazel.co.uk/craft-products daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1601659754735-62OQ60BAN3JBK5JYQA8J/gypsy+flower+being+carved.png Hedgerow craft products A flower being csrved with the knife https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edb962664143622d65d7d49/1601651978557-EGRM21BHB100M52MM5LU/IMG_1098.JPG Hedgerow craft products These are wooden Chrysanthemums carved by hand with a knife then traditionally dyed in gaudy colours These flowers were traditionaly made by Romany gypsys who were the real masters of the craft.
