I just bought sheds loads of willow & a book - what are my chances of building a wigwam?

[Katymac]

I have 4 uprights already in place

I will remove the turf, dig a trench, dig in compost, replace the turf & cut holes in it for the willow

I'm not sure yet what I will tie it with

& I may have some left at the end

what a job & I am supposed to be doing OU work

Sounds great! I was just chatting about this with a professional willow weaver yesterday, and she said then that you need to remember to keep maintaining it as it grows - by either pruning or preferably weaving the new stems in.

If yu've got extra, you could weave a basket!

Be warned they attact wasps at a certain time of year. Had a strange experience at the Wetland Centre Barnes with this problem don't know if it was a one off but plant far away form patio & kitchen Sorry but I thought I should say

I have definitely over ordered (now I have read the book)

Damn
