The Hedge of Hedges

There is this thing, its called an osage orange. To me it looks nothing like an orange. I heard it was once a food source for some find of mega fauna (see: thing, thing and moose)

they are commonly used as hedges.

i plan to do the same. Mine will not be organic at all because i will be watering and feeding them what ever commercial fertilizer makes them grow the fastest. This will be based on if i can find it on sale, because fertilizer is cheaper then building fences.

I will also be utilizing the 'living hedge' method of building this living wall/fence. Not just because of the cost comparison, but because of asethics. I think it will look really neat in the fall and winter.

I am only a little worried about what will start living in it.

I will assume birds so i will also spread native flower seeds around the hedge. Which will also help the local native bees. A small win/win.

I know it will end up being something that i set up and forget about every few years, but in this instance that might be a good thing.
