Hi there! Thank you so much ... I very much enjoy arranging rocks and utilizing them throughout our gardens. We have several rock walls on our property that provide an almost unlimited source. ☺️ ~Rochelle

Excellent work! It's an ancient art, and nice to see it being incorporated into such a lovely home. Also a good excuse to plant stuff and start coppicing or pollarding trees that make good stock for future projects. A few Salix purpurea, for example, would provide plenty of whips for repairs to the fence over the years, and lovely baskets in between times! 😃

Thank you Lori! Our family likes to hold onto the heart shaped rocks that we find. It gives that nice little accent to a project like this. Best of luck on the fence build, I am sure it will be beautiful when its all done.

Fantastic looking. It will be beautiful in summer with peas growing through it. BTW the "posts" are sails, and the "wattle" are wefts. In ye olde Emglish😊

Good job! See you have some slightly angled spars at top of the gate ….some diagonals from base by hinge to top by latch (i.e in compression) would make gate much stronger and stop it drooping.

@SproutingPathsHomestead 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! Ah, in agreement with you there - excellent suggestion. We plan to make another gate at the opposite end of the fence out of an old cedar tree. These tweaks will come in handy! 🌿 - Rochelle

I think I will give it a try. I have a lot of sumac trees and they multiply like crazy. They will make the good steaks. Their branches do not make good waddle because they shrivel up. They kind of weird the ones with the leaves on them.

@SproutingPathsHomestead 2 ай бұрын

Go for it! I can't vouch for the sumac as we don't have those on our property, we have mostly pines which ended up being good for the stakes and the waddle parts.

@lisaparris5 5 ай бұрын

Great video! How far apart did you space the stakes and what did you do for a gate latch?

Thank you! We spaced them approximately 4-5 ft apart.

Did you weave with them green or did you dry and then soak later?

@SproutingPathsHomestead Ай бұрын

Hi there! Most of them I weaved green. I did use some older branches and, being new to making a wattle fence, did not soak them and those were most definitely difficult to work with.

What wood is it woven from? Can it be from a fig? Thanks for your reply.

@SproutingPathsHomestead 4 ай бұрын

Hi there! We used quite the random assortment - all of which were taken from our back woods. We focused on cutting down younger trees that would not have thrived due to competing with larger evergreens. Some were even taken from brush and bushes as well, such as honeysuckle. Hope this helps! 💛-Rochelle

Do the limbs have to be alive? Can they be dead or won't that work?

@SproutingPathsHomestead Ай бұрын

Hi there! For me, working with fresh limbs was much easier. I did use some older branches and they were much more difficult to use. They worked out just fine but required much more "oomph" to wattle them in 😆
