I’ve got a long stretch of old duff wall like that with a new fence up the side about as far away as that, would planting a hedge in the gap do any more damage to the wall?what I was up to last spring, taking poxy vernacular single skin garbage - well, it kept in sleepy South Devons- and fixing it.

Best thing about SFI, should be plenty of demand for good wallers.How nice to see people spending time and money to enhance their land and boundaries.
Best memory from student days was rebuilding 2 chains length of drystone wall. That was June 1976!which for those that remember was a long hot summer! It’s still standing. I drive passed it once in a while just to check!This is an interest of mine , I would be very interested to see your work I'm sure others would to or any walling you have about
Thankyou
These guys who built these walls and barns were true craftsmen, you try and get someone to copy their style today
Suppose that the edge of it, could create a bigger problem, be great if it worked to keep the stone dry, muddy wet stones are 'orrible.Years ago a dyking team had a home made gazebo type cover they could move along for shelter
