Day 6 was a bit of a rest day, with just some watering of the trees (and words of encouragement!). On Monday the pre-laid hedging plants arrived along with Clive Braddock, the expert hedge layer. After the tricky job of unloading these, Clive set about fixing the hedge in place with hazel stakes and binders. He managed to get 4 species into a relatively short space - hawthorn, alder, blackthorn and beech - and was able to get the top binders to follow the curve of the wall perfectly. For an added bonus the blackthorn has even managed some sloes which will be put to good use after the show no doubt....
