Hedgerow to your property

 Reasons to add Hedgerow to your property



In the past, hedgerows were often planted to mark the property lines and edges of fields that fed grazing animals. It kept the sheep inside and the deer outside. At the same time, other terrestrial animals, such as hedgehogs, were free to move back and forth in search of food and shelter. Nowadays, with the use of technology and GPS, those boundary markers have the ability to exit fashionably. But not so fast!


There are many reasons to maintain existing hedgehogs and there are more effective reasons to plant them more. Look closely at any hedgehog, even inexperienced eyes can get the biodiversity they provide. There are hundreds of weeds growing there, from nettles to cleavers, from violets to someone and in between. Many of the early weeds of that spring are edible not only for the animals but for you as well.

You will notice the chirping of birds, lizards, insects, and bees.


The main reasons for adding Hedgerow to your property to your property


Therefore, they are always growing - and evolving.

We will get to the aspect of hedgerow maintenance later, but, first of all, it is useful to first determine the reasons for liking hedgerows. Keep in mind that hedgehogs can be multipurpose. The chances of hedgehog success are aligned when your living fence is set in the right place and planted with the most useful plant species for your area.


From the beginning, do your own research to determine what plants belong to your region. Native plants are always the best choice.

Exotics, like bamboo for most of us, can work in the short term as a fencing option. You may face some problems.


Thorns as windbreaks



If you have a backyard orchard where you can spend a lot of time, at some point you will realize how much wind blows between the trees in that space. If so, a windscreen can be very effective in protecting your trees. Not to stop the wind completely, but rather to reduce the force. However, using a hedgehog as a windmill can come with a downside. Many owners imagine planting a windbreak fence along the property line. All of that is good and good, but for ventilation to be really effective it needs to be placed at the right angle to the prevailing wind direction.


Privacy issues


Hedgehogs can be short or tall, depending on which trees and shrubs grow. They become denser with branches over time, which not only gives you a screen of privacy but also gives you a closer feel to the birds and animals. The sometimes unplanned advantage of placing a privacy hedgehog is that it also reduces external noise.


When it comes to using Hedgero as a privacy fence, you need to think outside the box of Arborvide-Evergreen-Private. All of this will deter your neighbor to some extent. Nevertheless, they do not provide birds and pollinators like a hedgehog built of native plants, perennials, and trees.


Hedgehogs keep humans and animals inside or outside


Trust me, no one wants to go through your hawthorn and blackberry hedge. Not without a little consideration of the sharp thorns at first. Very few animals waste their energy to get past anything that is very difficult if they do not have a pre-prepared path to crawl. That’s the thing about hedgehogs. They keep humans and animals inside or outside. At least to some extent.



Small animals will always have the flow of the forest. Rabbits bounce and snakes slide here and there, finding paths that fit their size. Large animals have to use gates and walk around fences until they find a path that fits our body frame.


Hedgehogs help to recreate the landscape


Wildlife support is one of the key factors in planting hedgehogs. Notice the word planting, tying, or tying. There are many types of trees, shrubs, and perennials that can make the most of your fence. Annuals will always find their way.


Hedgerows as a source of food


Can you eat from your fence?

Absolutely.

We often think of hedgehogs as a food source for birds and animals, but we can also learn to share the harvest. Plant these in your hedgehog for a scattered harvest during the growing season: your hedgehog in the sun or shade Do not forget all the plants that grow in the base. Nettles, Purple Dead Nettles, Dandelions, Sequined, Goosefoot, Cleavers, Purslane, Garlic Mustard - a few.


As a source of shade or support for the creation of the micro-climate


Don’t get me wrong, the sun is very good and many plants follow. But too much sun? The plants wither, and so do we. We usually go in search of shade and cool weather indoors. Or sip a refreshing lemon under a large tree ...

Best fence ideas in your home garden

 Choose the best garden fence Most gardeners eventually have hot encounters with unwanted wildlife. The best and kindest solution is to get rid of them with the right kind of barrier. A good farm dog can be a great help, and repellents and scare devices sometimes work for some animals, but you can not beat well-selected garden fences for reliable long-term, 24-hour protection. Assessing your needs While the primary purpose of the fence is to prevent animal pests, you can not choose the best garden fence until you know what they are. The eight most common wildlife pests in the gardens (alphabetically) are deer, porcupines (woodpeckers), pocket gophers, rabbits, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and walruses. Note that this list does not include opossums and moles. Neither species directly damages garden crops, and both feed adequately on pests. To help you identify which animal (or animal) is naughty in your garden, do you match the evidence you see with descriptions of the damag

How to detect and remove invasive jumping worms

Remove invasive jumping worms This garden pest certainly makes a name for itself - many. Depending on where you are and who you are talking to, you may hear it called "crazy snake worm", "Alabama jumping worm", "Asian snake worm" or some other name, but these all refer to earthworms.  Native to East Asia, the Amindas earthworm is an invasive pest of the northeastern, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwestern United States. They like to live in moist leaves and soils high in organic matter, so they are commonly found in gardens, mulched areas, low-temperature composting, irrigation yards, and fields and forests. Areas with very sandy or dense clay soils, small organic matter, and arid areas west of rocky outcrops will not be severely affected. But for others, there is reason to worry. How to detect jumping worms It is important to correctly identify invasive jumping worms before you start removing them from your yard or garden. Fortunately, Asian jumping wor
