How to transform your garden into a living art piece! 🌱✨ For the Willow Fence: 🌿 Two willows per hole; use a crowbar + hammer for holes. 🔄 Start the fedge weave: Right willow out, left willow in. 📏 Support with a rod, weave, plant, and tie triangles evenly. 🔝 Finish with a taper or a pairing weave for extra stability. Spiral Entrance Magic: 🌀 Secure 8-12 uprights temporarily; begin with a 3-rod wale at the bottom 🌐 Use rope pairing weave for the spiral; start with 4ft rods, finish with 3ft thin rods. 🌿 Weave 7-8ft rods into the opolis, adding three at a time until youve filled the whole structure ✨ Tie the cones to form an archway, secure by twisting and tying rods at the top Hope this helps! 😊🌱 #DIY #willow #tunnel #gardening #plants #tutorials #howto #art #willowtunnel #livingtunnel

Willow Propagation 101💧🌿 here are some useful tips and tricks for you to keep in mind: Timing: Late winter or early spring, before the buds break into leaf, is ideal. Nature's waking up, and so will your willows. Choosing Cuttings: Select healthy, young shoots from a mature willow. About a pencil's thickness and 1-2 feet long is your gold standard. Preparation: Trim the bottom of the cutting at an angle just below a bud to maximize the area from which roots can sprout. A straight cut at the top, above a bud, prevents confusion and rainwater collection. Rooting Hormone? Optional: Willows naturally produce their own rooting hormones. But if you feel fancy, dipping the bottom end in a rooting hormone can't hurt. Planting: Stick them in moist soil or water. In soil, bury about 2/3 of the cutting's length upright, ensuring a few buds are above the soil line for future growth. If starting in water, a couple of inches submerged will do. Change the water when it gets murky. Location, Location, Location: Choose a spot with at least partial sun. If your final destination isn't ready, pots work fine for starters. Just keep them moist, not waterlogged. Give it time: Roots may take a few weeks to show in water. In soil, you'll know it's working when leaves start to sprout. Transplanting: Once your cuttings in water have roots about an inch long or those in soil have established themselves with new growth, you can move them to their final location. Remember, willows love water and space to spread. Hope this helps 🤗🌱. #DIY #willow #gardening #plants #hack #propagation #tutorials #howto
