Create Scent and Privacy in Your Garden - How to Plant a Honeysuckle Hedge 

One suggestion - I take two vitamin B1 tablets about 30 minutes before I start my gardening. The aroma of the vitamin is secreted by your skin and the gnats and mosquitos don’t like it. It eliminates the need to wear a net or spray yourself with a repellant. Give it a try. Thanks for the video, I didn’t realize that you can make a hedge from honeysuckle; I’ve only seen people use it to climb a trellis mounted to a building or fence.

Beautiful piece of comedy, 'I'm not expecting them all to take, whaaack', magic, laughed out loud, what perfect timing.

This is exactly why we live on a 300 acre farm no neighbours or dogs to deal with. If that was my dog I would bring him inside if I saw you planting.

I love how we see the real reason for the hedge, towards the end of the video. The annoying neighbour's dog!!! haha

So many healthy benefits from honeysuckle too!

Good information and like all the background disturbances which make all real rather then all other video

I Love a little humor with my gardening. Great job!!

I hope your vines grow quickly. 😃 Please shoot an update video once you have a hedge. I've purchased two honeysuckle vines to plant on my fence this spring.

So funny and informative. You have patience of Job!

Awesome. Love it. I came here while searching for "Golden Honeysuckle" as I've got around 100 cuttings I've taken from a relative's hedge. She can't remember exactly what it is but I'm 99% sure I've identified it as Golden Honeysuckle. Not long got into gardening and seeing how you've made your video and taking a quick look at your playlist, I've subscribed and activated the bell. I'm really going to enjoy trundling through your videos. Massive thanks also for the bit in the middle about taking cuttings. You've explained that far better than many other videos I've seen. I just wish I could show you a photo of what I've done so far with this hedge and the two massive planters I've made.

I love your sense of humor through all the distractions 😂

Thanks for this....I have a honeysuckle growing that will have to be moved soon so I will consider doing a hedge. The neighbour's dog was trying to steal the show.

Love the fact that you don’t cut out the funny stuff 😝

Please update us with the progress on your hedge! 🌿👍

Lol. I cuttings are like "Hey I didn't say it was cool to put me in this video."🐞🐞🐝🐝🌿

When I was growing up in El Paso, TX many, many decades ago, we all had stone walls dividing our properties from one another. I suppose the stones were dug out of the foundation holes when the houses were built. The walls ranged from 4 to 20 feet tall, depending upon the slope of the land, and all had beveled tops, I suppose to shed what little percipitation we received each year. We children used these stone walls as highways to traverse the neighborhood. It was a shock when I moved to another city to find mere chain link fences - if any fence at all - between many of the houses. It felt very bare and insecure. I've no fences on my current property, but there are red cedar and maple hedges around most of it. I keep thinking of making a raspberry fence hedge (fedge) across the front.

Awesome video...I knew the real reason for the hedge would be revealed ! lol...great stuff

absolutely awesome!~ Fact filled and a joy to watch. Thanks Mate!!

Great video I like the "room" perspective outside and good instruction on cuttings. Loved the oops! Very real. This will be a good solution to the honeysuckle that is pulling down the fence between myself and my neighbors. A natural fence! Hopefully my neighbor will agree.😄

Thanks for the info! Ill soon be taking some transplants out around my farm here in Alabama for service and a little regrowth for privacy. But most of all thank you for carrying on while I was laughing my arse off while you kept your cool and didn't turn around on that puppy with your shovel! Oh, calm down everyone! I love animals but he came up behind him. Good dog went with mama and didn't shine on the beautiful new shurbs✌❤

Had to laugh when the pot tipped 🤣 good information all the less . Cheers 👍

Hello, great video sir! I like the tips and thorough instructions you give on how to make other plants from limbs and such and to the proper spacing and digging as well. Well done!

Great 👍 Video & Information, But Also Humerus ! I.I'm Rollin ' & Can't wait 🤪 😎 To Try My Wild Honeysuckle Found On My Land ! Penney C., Al

Great video! I love honeysuckle plants are so beautiful and fragrant. I'm going to plant many this autumn like you did. This was very inspiring, I hope you can make a good fence to keep unwanted visitors away. Thanks!

I well do the same. but mine i plant them on water course try if they have some roots coming and it succes now ready to plant them on soil like what you dId .. thank you . for sharing . watching from norway ..🇳🇴

What a wonderful idea! I have been trying to decide what to plant along my rail fence for more privacy. Hadn't considered honeysuckle!

Thanks for the video. Have you added a trellis or welded wire fence for the honeysuckle to grow onto? 🐶

Very interesting I’m going to try this

Thank you, I enjoyed viewing your video and your sense of humor too. one question, it takes how long for the cuttings to grow to the size ready to plant in the ground/planting pot, and also how long to grow to 2 feet high, then transplant to place to produce the hedge? Thank you. I remember when I was a kid, I visited my uncle's place where he had a honeysuckle in front of his house, and he made dry Honeysuckle tea for me. Love it. thank you for taking time to answer my question. appreciate.

Subscribed for you putting up with that dog xD

Many times I wonder how folks keep their dogs in their own yard....chains, I suppose! Out here in the Desert SW, folks use Chainlink fencing and Rock walls if they do not have the money for Wood fences! Rock is our natural resource!

Great video mate, thank you ✌🏽

Hi! Great video. It’s been a year, how are the hedges coming along? Can we have an update video please?

As an English person watching videos and programs on American 'backyards', I always wonder about how the owners know what is their property and what is their neighbours and how they deal with disputes over planting on the boundary. We have a saying - 'good fences make good neighbours'. Also, how is it possible to keep children and pets safe?

better fences make better neighbors 🤣another plant to add to my long wishlist. i'd like to have a nice hedge one day?

Thanks

Thank you for the video. I love the British humour in there ;) I am in the UK, but not originally from here. Can you show us how to tie them with wire, or how to helo them climb? Did you do anything else apart from just planting them? If there is a video showing this, could you please point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

Brilliant 😂😂

Can we get an updated video on how this hedge is looking?!

Fantastic information... I want to take some honeysuckle cuttings.. Its growing wild all over near some allotments... How long will I have to get the cuttings home and do as you suggested... Also how should I store them once I cut them from the Bush... Best regards and stay safe

Monty Don loves a challenge, why don't you invite him over to keep the dogs and kids away whilst you get the gardening sorted 😁

Nice

I have a honeysuckle bush, but new neighbours was starting to butcher. Young people don't understand my want of privacy and not want to see their mess in their driveway. Had around 17 years after I moved into my home.

Ha! Hound of the Baskervilles!

I had to cut the sound off at the end because my dog started barking at the dog barking in the video

What is the soil mixture that you are rooting the cuttings in? Thank you.

Made about 80ft of trellis from roofing lathes for the party fence..... neighbour nailed wooden planks above it to grow his climbing rose along. Of course trellis isn't any good for growing plants along 🙄

Funny enough I have a ton of foliage around my property and I’m told I should cut it back so that I can see if any bears are around. I definitely take privacy over worrying about any bears. I also have a honeysuckle invading my deck! I didn’t know I could take cuttings of it and start up new plants. Great advice on where to cut and lopping off the leaves etc. Thks dude! (Hope that they take as that would save a lot of hassle. Would it help to have them on just water for a couple of weeks?)

😊👍

Do you have updated pics of this project?

not in the USA..not legally...

Bylaw thinks it is alright for new neighbour to butcher my honeysuckle bush. Had 4 , only have 3.

Will it root without using rooting hormones?

Where can I buy this

Hey I have a Catahula Leopard dog named S'mores. But shes Tiger striped.🐺👽🦝

So, how do you keep the dogs from peeing on the plants and killing them?

I apologize because I thought you were in the USA but the same rules still apply to you and that invasive honeysuckle. Because of ignorant people planting this invasive plant, I now have unwanted honeysuckles growing in my yard, I guess from birds crapping the seeds out everywhere. Anyway best of luck!

if you use rooting hormone they will all take

I can see why you want to build a hedge haha

Why would you plant INVASIVE honeysuckle that is from Japan? There is a red coral honeysuckle that is native AND doesn't strangle out the trees and plants around it, while becoming unable to handle. The native flower doesn't smell pretty but at least it doesn't kill everything around it. When you plant these invasive honeysuckles, they grow berries that birds/animals eat, and when they get pooped out they grow everywhere else that isn't your property. Please respect the environment and other people.
