Informative and interesting topic, of which I knew little...until reading this article. The photos helped illustrate the author's descriptions as well. Nice job!

Thanks fuzzi; I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I'm a hedge fan. Breaks my heart when I see hedges around houses ripped out in favour of a brick wall or fencing.
A well presented article with lovely pictures on a topic that is very relevant to ranging and free ranging chickens. A managed Blackthorn hedge keeps most creatures out.

thanks Shad; it's a shame to cut down the blackthorn now, just before it bursts into life and colour, but it will be good to go for a few years unhindered now, and it's one of those 'got to break eggs to make omelettes' moments.

well, that was a bit of luck with the timing! It's a long term investment in the sense that you have to wait years to see results, but it is so worth waiting for.
