Yes. It was determination that was required this week. That Glasshouses hedge just HAD to be finished off. There are lots of other jobs on the NCVs' list of things to do during the winter and they could not afford to spend any more time on this one. Determination was also needed as the weather was dreadful. Having left off early due to snow last week, the NCVs were subjected to heavy rain this week and could only bear working through until lunchtime. Despite this they got the job done - as you can see below!
This is what still needed doing.
However, there was a lot of brash laying
around from last week's attempt to
get the job done, with more being generated
by the minute. Luckily a band of happy
brash carriers soon sorted that out.
Thanks Will - a very tidy dead hedge.
The wildlife will love it!
Further down the line pleaching got underway.
What's that Phil?
Rain is running down your neck?
Never mind that - just focus your
attention on cutting off that stob properly.
This was a high level spec pruning implement.
This cut the job time down so that
workers could go home before trench foot set in.
At last! The hedge was now complete. Time to party!!
Well - time to have a very delayed
drip dry and coffee break back
at the barn before going home for lunch.
