The growth of willow and other shrubs with long thin rods is best cut in agricultural fields and under power lines. In these places, all the shoots are systematically uprooted, mowed down, not allowed to grow, so we will not cause any damage to nature. It is more convenient to collect the rods before the beginning of the dissolution of the kidneys.
The principle of basket weaving is used. Decorative fences for the garden can be made not only round, but also straight or with any desired bends. Keep in mind that when the twigs dry, they will become thinner and shrink.
Such fences will last a couple of years, they are short-lived. But in my case, this is welcome, since during this time the bushes and seedlings will have time to grow up and they will no longer need protection.
Well, fences are made very quickly. Most of the time is spent on the preparation of material, and then it's a matter of technique and imagination.
Our subscriber Sarma from Latvia sent me a photo where she made plaits of a very small diameter with a stylized handle like a basket. Ilea is great, I want to try the same. In such stationary planters, you can put pots with plants or lay a tight package and pour soil right there and plant something.
