From the Homestead – Useful techniques – Hedging (1942)
A Northamptonshire hedger is ably assisted by a smiling land girl eager to learn the rural craft of hedge making and maintenance in this informative instructional film, made by the Realist Film Unit for the Ministry of Agriculture.
“We seek to advance the cultural, social, economic and political well-being and independence of the Southern people by all honorable means.”
The Southern Nationalist League, Inc. is the largest, most organized, and foremost advocate for the Southron people in a day and age that is growing increasingly hostile to our very existence.
I like these old English instructional films. Much good rural advice in some of them. My great uncles knew how to build and maintain hedges like that.
I love these old video too – they’re like a long-lost art form and skill set. With the high cost of fencing these days this is a great option if the terrain and amenities allow. We are currently employing this in the back of our homestead instead of just clearing and burning the brush. Mainly to serve as a fence row to obscure the canopy growing up that is exposing our property to the next-door neighbor – in a word, a privacy fence, a habitat for the wildlife and a natural fence/barrier.
