Construction
| “ | A Cornish hedge has two sides which are built by placing huge stone blocks into the earth and packing them in with sub-soil. Smaller interlocking rocks are used to build the hedge high until it reaches a level when random turns into neat rows of square stones called "edgers".
Two inches of grass are sliced from the ground and stuck on top of the structure with sticks. |
