We will show you how to plant the most effective hedge, windbreak or shelterbelt to protect your land and trees.
Our big old trees keep getting blown down by storms and we want to save our remaining trees. We are going to increase the amount of trees we have in our shelterbelt in an effort to do just that.
I made a mistake in this video - yew and juniper are also native conifers - sorry about that!!
We are trying to live a life that is as gentle on the Earth as possible. We hope you enjoy watching out efforts to do so - with Hazel the pup!
Here is a link to the research paper I mention in the video: www.tree-shop....
And a link to the advice from the RHS: www.rhs.org.uk...

I love how many similarities your land has to ours. We are Northwest Washington State, US, and our wind issue is due to a narrow mountain valley that funnels the prevailing wind down it, and the speeds get significant on a regular basis. Willow and Alder are our mainstays, with Scotts and Skita scattered around. We would love Cedars, but for some reason they have a hard time establishing right now. We are hoping that as the fields come in with the Willow and Alder on their way to Silvo-pasture, it will promote a healthier environment for the Cedars. You constantly have relevant content for us. Thank you!

That is really incredible. So far apart, but so similar. Glad that you like the videos!

We're hoping to move to Ireland later this year to live sustainably; I'm sure this info is going to come in handy. Many thanks, dude!

@theviewfromtheclouds 6 месяцев назад

That sounds exciting - good luck with the move! I have never been to Ireland, but it looks beautiful. Have you seen Daniel's channel Mossy Bottom?

Thanks, I certainly will!

Are you east or west coast? It probably doesn't make significant difference, just curious as to whether the varieties would be different whether Irish or North sea. I'm East coast, of Scotland.

@theviewfromtheclouds 6 месяцев назад

Hi, we are west coast, In Cumbria. You might have colder and drier weather, perhaps?

@ricos1497 6 месяцев назад

@@theviewfromtheclouds yep. Scot's pine does well here and willow grows well too, on boggy ground, so I'm guessing that it's roughly the same. Wind is most definitely a problem here too, we just get different storm names!

Drat. Looks like I jumped the gun by a couple of weeks. That's when I put in my first row of a windbreak here in Texas. I used Arizona Cypress (roughly 50 feet tall evergreens). I was going to add further rows with decreasing height later. Looks like I got it backwards. Oh, well. I guess I'll start that windbreak just after the cypress, switch to deciduous and, from there, start small.

@theviewfromtheclouds 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like a plan. Don't kick yourself, we are all learning all the time!
