Wicker fences have their pros and cons, main advantages four:
- Beautiful appearance... Weaving allows you to make the fence a real work of art. High and low fences with different kinds weaving can be a great addition to the design of the site.
- Environmental friendliness... A wicker fence made of wood is environmentally friendly. When creating such fences, substances hazardous to humans are not used.
- Low cost... If you make a fence yourself from a tree from your own site, then you can do without waste at all. But if you buy ready-made fences, the price will depend on the material, the height of the product and the types of weaving.
- Ease of construction... You can decorate the site with wicker yourself without resorting to the help of special companies.
Despite the low cost, beauty and environmental friendliness, the wicker fence has significant disadvantages:
- Lifetime... The fence does not last long, it is subject to the influence of wind, rain and snow.
- Not a capital building... If you decide to build a wicker fence on the site, then you should know that it will perform only a decorative function, it will not save you from the appearance of uninvited guests.
- Difficult repair... If at least one element in the fence is broken, then you will have to disassemble the entire structure or section. The complexity of repair is a feature of all wicker products.
Before installing a wicker fence, remember its advantages and disadvantages, pay attention to the service life and repair features, ease of construction and environmental friendliness.
Types of wicker fences
Fences differ in height, weaving method and appearance.
Wicker fences can be of three types in height:
- High hedges(at least 2 meters) can become reliable protection plot. Such a fence will be a capital structure if the pillars are made of stone, and a wicker fence is installed between them.
- Low fences, height does not exceed 50-70 cm, intended for flower bed decoration, used as an element of landscape design.
- Wicker fences about 1 meter high set for the zoning of the site. For example, to separate the recreation area with swings, a table and benches from the rest of the territory.
By the way of weaving, hedges are divided into:
- Horizontal- the most common and easy to implement. Such fences are more durable than vertical ones.
- Vertical It is difficult to make wattle fence on your own without experience in weaving, but craftsmen create real works of art, decorating the fence with complex patterns.
Wicker fences are also distinguished by the method of creation and use.:
- A wicker fence with a height of less than 0.7 m is attached to a ready-made base, professionals use a metal one to increase the service life.
- A flat fence is installed in sections, the length of one is about 2 meters. This type of weaving is easier to repair, and if necessary, one of the parts can be completely replaced.
- Rounded decorative wicker more often used for flower beds and flower beds as decoration.
What is wattle made of? Wicker fences can be made from almost any flexible materials ... The most short-lived are cattails and reeds.
The maximum service life is 4 years, then they dry out and quickly deteriorate. Much more often, vines and willow are used to create weaving, in last years fences made of boards are especially popular, which have not only beautiful external views, but also a high degree of reliability. Wicker fence companies can offer PVC products, albeit not natural material, but strong and durable.
Willow wicker fences
Willow branches are flexible, pliable and strong, of which box bodies, baskets and, of course, fences are weaved. Before starting work, the material needs to be prepared. Steam the rods so that they become flexible.
Willow fences can be weaved vertically or horizontally. The second option is especially interesting. First, horizontal supports are made, then willow branches are vertically installed, dropping the ends into the ground. After a while, the willow will turn green, it will seem that the wattle was created by nature itself.
In order for the willow wattle to last as long as possible, the tree needs be sure to treat with an antiseptic, and at the installation site, dig a drainage trench and replace the soil with sand.
Wicker fences made of vines
Vines are flexible and long branches of trees and shrubs that are used to create fences and even build living quarters. Vine wattle are popular for their aesthetics, naturalness and beauty.
To make the fence reliable and last longer, it is important to comply with several requirements:
- To give flexibility and ease the work with the material, the rods are soaked in hot water or left for a while in a steam bath. After that, you need to immediately start weaving, and when the vine dries up, it will become strong and keep its shape perfectly.
- The size of the rods also matters. For a small decorative fence, it is better to choose branches no thicker than 2 cm, for tall wooden wicker fences - from 2 to 3 cm.
- Before starting work, you need to remove the bark from the vine, treat the branches with antiseptic agents, a solution of ferrous sulfate, varnish, stain, potassium permanganate.
The vine is often used to make decorative fences that complement the design of the site, divide it into zones or decorate the flower bed.
Wicker fence made of boards
A wicker fence made of boards can perform not only decorative, but also protective functions... It is reliable and able to protect against unauthorized people entering the site.
For manufacturing, planed boards and pillars (metal, wood or concrete) are used. The structure is held in place using the tension of the wicker boards, but screws and nails can be used to strengthen the structure.
After construction, there is usually a small gap at the bottom, it is laid with brick or stone.
Especially popular are wicker elements from boards in a brick fence that perform a decorative function. If you decide to build a wicker fence from boards on your own, then get ready for difficulties and be sure to find an assistant, it is extremely difficult to build such a structure alone.
PVC wicker fence
Usually, a wicker fence is associated with wood and natural material, but in recent years it has also been produced from PVC, which has a number of advantages:
- Durability... This is the main difference between PVC and vines, boards and willow. PVC has protective covering, modern painting and primer, this allows the fence to be used for several decades. During this time, the structure will not lose its attractive appearance.
- Installation mobility... Anyone can create and install a fence made of plastic. The design is lightweight and easy to transport.
- Convenient operation... Unlike wicker fences made of other materials, PVC structures do not fade in the sun, they do not react to temperature changes and humidity. To the fence long time kept a perfect look, it is enough to wipe it on time special means... Metal parts must be treated with anticorrosive treatment regularly.
- Rich the lineup ... You can choose any fences colors, which will ideally complement the landscape design of the site. It is also important to pay attention to the step and size of the PVC cells, which give the fence an unusual appearance.
- Acceptable cost... Due to the ease of manufacture, PVC fences have a low price.
Wicker fence prices
Wicker fence prices depend on the material, from which it is made, height and type of weaving. The cost of a fence made of willow or vines with a height of about 1 meter - from 500 rubles per running meter and higher.
If you decide to decorate the site with a willow or vine fence, then you can do it yourself and for free. To do this, it is enough to prepare willow branches and stakes on which the wattle will hold.
The cost of fences made of boards and PVC - from 750 rubles per meter.
DIY wicker fences
You can decorate the site with a wicker fence yourself. This will save time and be interesting. To make the hedge original, you can master several types of weaving and think about additional accessories.
The easiest way to make a wattle fence is willow or vine., it is more difficult to master the technology of making a fence made of wood and PVC. To do this, you will need special tools and assistants, it is difficult for one to make weaving from these materials.

Wattle - real work of art... A variety of patterns, weaves and materials allows you to choose perfect option decorating your site. A wicker fence can become a reliable protector, a bright decorative element or a separator of zones on the site.
Wicker fence like protective structure rare, but in landscape design he is an irreplaceable element. Wicker can be ordered from specialists or made by yourself from vine, willow, boards or PVC.
Unthinkable without wooden fences, the most colorful of which is wicker fence made of branches... Like any other, a decorative wicker fence consists of the main elements:
On my own and without extra costs can build do-it-yourself wicker fence for every taste, guided by the detailed instructions.
Harvesting vines
For the manufacture of a real village wattle, young shoots of any trees and thornless shrubs are used. Best suited for these purposes:
A low-cost method of harvesting vines is a trip to the nearest planting or to the river bank.
The vine for weaving can be harvested at any time of the year, but it is better to do this in winter or early spring before the start of sap flow.
The most popular and available material is the willow tree. Since many species grow in the middle lane, it is better to choose rods of a juicy green, yellow or reddish hue for weaving. For the manufacture of a wicker fence from branches, annual shoots with a diameter of 1.5-5 cm and a length of 2-3 meters are suitable. The thickness depends on the designer's intention - low fences can also be made from thin branches. With a sharp knife, the branches are cut at an angle and tied into tight bundles.
If harvesting is carried out in winter, the vine should be thawed for several hours at room temperature before processing.
Then the bark is removed. This is done in order to prolong the life of the structure. If desired, the fence, woven from a barked vine, can later be painted or varnished.
There are several methods for removing the bark:
If the vine is harvested at the beginning of sap flow, the bark is removed well and without additional effort.
The prepared vine is stored in bundles on special supports or suspended.
Base construction
Depending on the height of the fence, metal rods, wooden stakes or posts are used for supports. For high fences, use metal pipes, and in small decorative fences, wooden pegs will look more natural.
The disadvantage of using wood is its susceptibility to rotting, so before starting work lower part treated with any antiseptic. Bitumen, tar, or over flame can be used.
Then the marking of the future fence is done - pegs are driven in at the control points and the string is pulled. The markings follow the contours of the railing.
The pegs are cut to the height of the desired fence with a margin of 10-15 cm at the top and at least 40-50 cm at the bottom (the part that will be in the ground is treated with anti-decay preparations). It is convenient to make holes for stakes using a crowbar, driving it into the ground:
The distance between the pegs depends on the thickness of the vine and the height of the fence, and on average ranges from 30 cm to 1.2 m.
With a vine thickness of 2.5-3 cm, the optimal distance between the supports will be 50 cm.The extreme pegs are installed 2-3 times closer friend to a friend - to create a castle. In our case, this distance will be 20 cm.
It makes sense to divide the prepared rods by thickness - it is advisable to use thicker branches in the lower part of the wattle fence.
Fence weaving
You should start braiding starting from the thick end of the branch. The first rod is put on the front side of the first peg and wound up on the wrong side of the second. When the vine ends, the next branch begins to wind in the previous peg. The second row is woven from the opposite end of the structure. The weave of the second row will be a mirror image of the first:
If the branches are too thin, weaving in bunches looks spectacular. You can use vines of different lengths so that the thin and thick ends are evenly distributed along the entire weave:
Over time, the vine shrinks and uneven gaps may appear between the rods, so each subsequent row is stacked close to the previous one (you can compact the rows with a hammer). Every 4-5 rows, the last rod is screwed to the posts on the front and back sides - this will prevent the entire weaving from going down in the future. Excess, strongly protruding parts of the rods are cut off along the course of weaving. The upper rod is also fixed on pegs using screws or self-tapping screws - when the branches are deformed, the fixed ends will not rise.
If wicker fence made of branches high, at a distance of 20-25 cm from the top, the three extreme posts are tied with wire. Then, using a short piece of reinforcement, the wire is intertwined. This technique will protect the structure from "squeezing" the extreme support.
Unusual wicker fence made of branches
A type of wicker fence is a driftwood fence. Although the weaving technique is not used here, the fancy shape of the material creates the illusion of openwork lace:
When making a fabulous fence, it is important to observe the following rules:
The final touch in arranging a wicker fence made of branches will be decorating it. It is advisable to open the structure with an antiseptic composition. Some substances change the color of wood:
The protruding parts of a wicker fence made of branches can be cut flush with the main plane, or can be decorated with clay pots.
To understand how to make a wattle fence with your own hands, you need to understand this process in detail. This seemingly simple question has its own nuances and peculiarities. A do-it-yourself wattle fence made in the country has long ceased to fulfill the protective function for which it was intended a century ago in countryside... But it is still in demand as a decorative and auxiliary structure.
Beautiful wattle of twigs
Designers willingly use it garden interior... Lovers of self-made structures use for zoning the territory or fencing creeping climbing plants.
In the imagination of many urbanists, wicker structures are a fragile, low fence, not very presentable, built on hastily... But this view is not true. Modern variety building materials allows you to make a braid from branches processed with special tools, wooden slats, poles, thin long twigs, even PVC rod or strips.
The folk experience gained over the centuries allows us to carry out sectional weaving, with a gap left between the canvases. If you use the technique of continuous weaving, then it requires additional fastening, an even distribution of joints.
Real creation durable fencing if you apply special materials. You can make a fence that is not inferior in height and strength to a brick one, weave a low fence for a flower bed with your own hands so that children and pets do not break the fragile stems of planted plants. You can weave a hedge in width or height (horizontal and vertical weaving).
Strong enough wicker fence
Each of the types has not only advantages and disadvantages, but also its own purpose.
Classic horizontal weaving can be done in an inclined way. Then the impression of infinity inherent in it will be even more decorative and will give an additional unusual look when laying out flower beds on a personal plot.
Fence weaving options
It is also possible to diversify the impression and differentiate the target distinctions during zoning by performing different weaving techniques of simple patterns:
- a chessboard (checkerboard) with horizontally arranged bunches of vines;
- diagonal chess - when some beams are unfolded and fixed additionally, while others are performed in a horizontal plane;
- do-it-yourself openwork weaving from willow, which, with a little practice, allows you to create real lace (the process is long, but worth the time);
- multi-colored options using dark and light woods or vinyl rods, which can be found in the desired shade;
- braiding: multi-strand (in several rods) and single-strand.
Various techniques for weaving a fence from branches and twigs
Craftsmen manage to lay out patterns from the loops released on top of the made wattle fence already in the process of work, in order to thereby enhance the decorative component even in the most utilitarian shield made of rods, exposed to cover the household building. So the wattle can be made in different ways, the main thing is to decide what it should be. It is necessary to accurately measure the estimated dimensions and calculate the necessary materials.
Beautiful fence in the Russian style
For those who are sensitive to environmental issues and do not want to ruin surrounding nature, there is a wide selection of plastic rods, even with a wood grain texture different breeds creating a natural effect. This material has undeniable advantages:
- strength;
- duration of operation;
- invariably guaranteed safety without additional funds leaving;
- absence preparatory phase blanks (not counting the time spent searching in building supermarkets, purchasing and delivery).
In the photo you can see what a wattle fence looks like from and natural material, compare and make a choice in favor of any option.
An example of a wicker fence made of PVC rods
Material procurement
For hand made three things are needed:
- a set of special tools;
- supports and mountings;
- wooden or synthetic rods.
Material procurement
The owner of the site, who has made a capital braid from boards or pine branches, also inevitably has problems if he does not take care of impregnating the material from natural disasters, drainage for water drainage and applying insect repellent.
A wicker fence will last longer if you use tree branches left over from the spring or autumn pruning of trees. The optimal time for harvesting improvised material is considered to be the time from mid-autumn to early spring, which will not bring much harm to the plantings.
In the video below, you can see how to properly harvest the vine. There are many useful information, which is not useful if there is no suitable reservoir nearby.
Residents of old urban areas can use branches left over from preventive pruning by local authorities, but not all varieties of trees are suitable for weaving. Those who have a forest belt nearby can use the cut young branches of old trees, and the owners orchard branches of cherry, apple, walnut, dogwood are useful.
The standard version, repeatedly tested in Russian regions, is the Amur grape vine, aspen, birch, maple, but the most traditional and widespread is the willow vine.
The bark and autumn shoots are removed from it, soaked in water to give flexibility, (then it lends itself much easier to the weaving process). It can be painted in different colors, using potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, stain or boil to obtain a brown tint.
The vine weaving technique has reached high level mastery, its methods can be found on virtual information portals... Below is a video demonstrating what can be made from willow with an elementary availability of skills and skillful hands.
The methods of fastening and support are selected depending on the material used for making the wattle fence.
It can be metal pipes, wooden stakes. large diameter and thin logs, for which holes are specially prepared or dug holes.
There are many types of fences made from a wide variety of materials. But recent times more and more often you can see a beautiful, eye-catching fence made of intertwined vines - the Ukrainian tyn. Such a fence is used to decorate areas near cafes and restaurants, divide zones into garden plot or simply enclose the flower beds. You can do it yourself from a variety of materials.
It looks like a classic fence tyn
Colorful and fashionable wicker fence
A vine is called elastic, long rods made of any plant material. Procure it in early spring before the start of the movement of the juice in the stems or in the fall, from the beginning of September and until frost.
Properly prepared material is the key to a beautiful and high-quality fence
Most often, they use long annual branches of a pussy willow, hazel or willow shrub. The best time to go to the procurement of material - an early sunny morning. Cut the vine sharp knife obliquely, trying to keep the cuts smooth and even. Cutting off the branches of the bush, they tend to leave 3-4 leaves from the ground. So, the bush will recover faster. 
Having cleared the leaves from the branches, it is advisable to give them a more neat look by removing the bark. This is done with a simple tool in the form of a split cone, which is better known as a pinch.
You can do it yourself by splitting a hardwood stake at one end. The unsplit end is strengthened by tying it with a strong rope or wire. The rod is inserted between two chips and stretched from edge to edge. The bark from a fresh vine can be easily removed, but if it has lain down a little, then it is better to put it in water for a while.
Wicker fence tyn using logs for posts
If the branches long time were stored and had time to dry out, it is best to steam them or soak them for a week in large capacity with water. In this case, it is very important that the material is completely covered.
When the vine is ready to be weaved, it is graded according to the thickness of the stem.
Thicker rods are used at the base of the wattle fence and at the very top. The thinner rods are woven closer to the middle. This trick allows you to build a stronger and more durable wicker fence.
Do I need a foundation for a wicker fence
The place where the tyn is planned to be installed in the future must be prepared in advance.
An example of a fence with a foundation
Usually such a fence is not needed, but more expensive options do not exclude stone or brick foundations. Such fences are more often installed in in public places for example on open areas restaurants or cafes, fencing their territory and creating a unique comfort. They look quite respectable, but they are also much more expensive.
It is best to make a sand and gravel cushion along the entire length for better drainage. This, of course, significantly slows down the construction process and increases the cost, but the wattle will not get stuck in the water during rains. Therefore, it will stand for a longer time.
The technology for such construction is very simple:
If you simplify the task of erecting a wicker fence with your own hands, you can simply level the site (in order to avoid stagnation of rain or melt water) and drive the bases into the ground to a depth of 30 cm.It must be treated with linseed oil, resin or any other means that protects them from decay ...
Weaving a fence from a vine
Probably, everyone has seen a finished wicker fence at least once in his life, so he has an idea of its essence.
An example of a wicker fence made of vine
Begin weaving from the bottom, using thicker rods for this. The first rod is firmly fixed in front of the initial base by the hand from the butt side and carefully wound behind the second, and so on, in strict adherence to the sequence.
The rod must end on the back of the next stake. With the next rod, on the contrary, weaving begins after the stake and the next stake is bent around with front side... And in the same way - to the end of the fence. 
To do this decorative fence it is not difficult, the main thing is to have patience and know some tricks:
- Each rod must be started to weave from the butt, thicker side;
- You cannot leave the end of the vine in the middle between the stakes, this will make the fence look untidy;
- It is necessary to regularly compact each row of weaving with a wooden hammer for greater strength and a beautiful look.
When the braid reaches the top edge, the top of the protruding stakes can be trimmed or left as desired. Then on them you can place various decorations in the form of clay pots or hanging flower pots with a climbing plant.
Interesting options for wicker fences
In order to, you can use other, alternative, material options. Some of them can last only a few years, while others are very durable.
Reed weaving
For such a tyna, long bundles of reeds up to five centimeters thick are used. This decorative fence you can do it yourself using the same technique as. If the reeds have been dried under the influence of sunlight, the tyn will turn out to be golden in color. Light green reeds can be obtained by drying them in the shade of a canopy.
PVC weaving
Now you can. Such fences are sold in a ready-made set, their price is quite high, but they will also stand for a very long time. PVC material not afraid sharp drops temperature, does not fade in the bright summer sun, and it is easy to install it with your own hands.
It looks like a wicker PVC fence
If tyn is not done so much with decorative purpose, how many to perform protective functions, you can build it from veneer or thin boards. Such a fence belongs to the opaque types.
except decorative functions, it will also reliably protect the site from the prying eyes of strangers.
The foundations for this type of fence should be stronger, and it is installed at a distance of 1.5 meters or more, but not more than two meters.
A wicker fence, or simply a wattle fence, is not at all difficult to make with your own hands, the main thing is to take into account the very purpose of this structure and some of the nuances of construction.
First of all, we pay attention to the purpose for which we are going to make the wattle:
- decorative on the site,
- a hedge for a summer residence,
- functional purpose,
Based on these goals, we will determine the materials for the manufacture of wattle fence. It would seem that what is the difference. Everyone knows that a wattle fence is a fence made of vertical stakes intertwined with thin branches.
However, there are differences. For example, if you are going to make a decorative wicker fence of the site, then you should think not only about its beauty, but also its durability.
The very principle of building a wattle fence is to dig in the posts, and we will dwell on this in more detail.
We build a fence for a summer residence
If you are going to fence country cottage area wicker fence as an alternative, then you should take care of its long-term service. However, everyone knows that wood is subject to rapid decay when in damp ground.
Therefore, as an option, it is possible to replace them with metal poles... In this case, the pillars can be painted to match the color of the branches with which they will be braided and it is imperative to process the dug-in part of the pillar.
The lower part of the metal post should be coated first with a special primer to prevent rusting, and on top, when the layer dries, with a resin-containing one. protective layer, for example - bituminous mastic.
The columns are dug in at a distance of 50 cm from each other (this the best option for all types of wattle fences) to a depth of 0.5 to 1 meter. Rubble is poured into the pit and poured cement mortar(1 part cement to 3 parts sand).
However, high wooden posts should be dug in according to the same principle. The only difference is in the processing of the part to be driven in. The process of processing wood for digging is described in detail in the article.
Types of wattle
Or rather, the types of weaving. You can weave the wattle in any way classical principle- horizontally lay the branches between the posts, and vertically - when the branches are laid on the transverse strips attached to the vertical posts.
Horizontal braiding vertical braiding
There is also a way of weaving diagonally and here there are two whole options:
- laying rods between two support pillars on transverse mounts,
- weaving rooted branches among themselves,
Both methods with some interpretations can be seen in the photo:
Hedge decorative hedge
Wattle for beds
Highly beautiful solution for arranging high and warm beds, perfect for, as well as for any other site. The advantage here is not only savings, thanks to the use of improvised means, but undoubtedly - aesthetic beauty.
However, when building a hedge for high and, some nuances should be taken into account, such as the fact that the stakes should be dug in at a smaller distance from each other, so that the garden fence can withstand the pressure of the soil on the walls.
Therefore, it is advisable to reduce the distance between the stakes to 30 - 40 cm. And of course, use the classic - horizontal method of weaving, with dense packing of longitudinal branches.
High beds Vertical fence for garden beds
What to weave the wattle from
Materials for weaving wattle fence also have their own characteristics. So, if the supporting pillars for a wicker fence can be made from whatever you want, in accordance with the principles described above, then the branches for the transverse (or longitudinal) part of the fence are not suitable for every one.
Of course, the first condition is their flexibility and elasticity, therefore the main material for wattle fence is a vine (willow, alder or hazel).
The latter is quite problematic to get in the right amount for residents middle lane, but willow grows almost everywhere. Nevertheless, she must pass preprocessing before being used for construction.
Procurement of materials
For a functional hedge inside the garden, willow twigs 2-3 cm thick are suitable. It is advisable to use this diameter for the fence of the beds. A decorative hedge will be quite enough with twigs 1-2 cm thick.
Willow branches are harvested in early spring or late autumn.
At this time, the plant has just "woken up" or, on the contrary, begins to slow down its life processes and is not burdened with the expenditure of energy for feeding the foliage.
During this period of time, we select the most even, straight rods and dry them in order to preserve their natural color. If you have the opportunity, then with a small area of the hedge, the peeled twigs can be given the desired color.
The twigs harvested in the summer will have white color, they are just as easy to process. You can also use hydrogen peroxide for bleaching.
The brown color of the rods will be given by aging in a manganese solution. With the help of a stain, the twigs can be given almost any shade in general, and inkstone will paint the hedge a grayish brown hue. Also wattle fence for the outer garden fence can be varnished for wood.
All these procedures are performed with already processed - peeled rods.
Preparation and processing
To make it easier to remove the bark from the twigs, they are put in water for about a week, until the internal juices of the plant begin to move. After this period, you can check whether the bark is easily removed.
Professionals have special tool for removing the bark, it is called a crush mill.
Crusher You can use simple wire cutters. We insert the rod between the teeth of the nippers and pull towards ourselves, if the bark is removed easily, then the rod is ready for use.
Nippers In this case, it is worth getting ready for a laborious, long and tedious process, so carefully prepare a convenient workplace, as well as a place for stacking "finished products".
Green hedge
If you want to have a green fence on your site, then you do not need to plant ornamental shrubs who are loyal to the annual haircut and crown formation. And along garden paths for the season, you can create an alley from.
Hedge can be made in the form of a wattle fence, because a plant like willow is not very whimsical and responsive to care. In this case, the hedge should be started in early spring. The main thing is not to miscalculate with the weather.
In this case, the cut rods are not cleaned from the bark, and after cutting they are placed in water, in a warm room. Willow cuttings give roots within 3 to 4 weeks, so you should be guided by the weather in your area.
As soon as the cuttings give roots (in favorable weather outside, preferably in May) we plant them in a row where you plan to make a hedge, it is advisable to use pegs and twine for marking.
Willow is very moisture-loving plant, it is not for nothing that it grows along the banks of rivers and reservoirs. Therefore, it is very important to provide the seedlings with sufficient moisture.
The best option is to plant the cuttings in a groove, from which, when watering, the water will not go to the side. Throughout summer season you should make sure that the soil is always moist, but not swampy, after all, willow is not rice!
During planting, weave the twigs together in the form of a mesh net and your wattle will all year round please you with their appearance. However, before embarking on a large-scale project, experiment in a small space.
After that, you will be able to see all your mistakes and orient yourself on the timing of planting.
