Hedge laying (traditionallly called 'steeping' in Devon) is the traditional way of managing hedgerows.

There are many different styles of hedgelaying, the Devon way is to create a low and thick hedge along the top of a large bank. This course is suitable for budding hedgers of all skill levels or none.
