remi700 99 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sally bushes. Just stick cuttins in the ground and they'll grow like feck! Then cut them and lay them when they get too high. Cant beat the natural thing! 1 Quote Link to post

Local Garden centre or any ponds or lakes round you if you ask the owners permission. Also you could use reed maise samesort of result all the best Quote Link to post
Blakloks 5 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 What's a Sally bush? Quote Link to post
remi700 99 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Oh maybe you call them willow?? Grow about a 2 foot a year and need almost no soil to grow. Theres a shallow sand bar in the middle a the lough where I decoy. At low water it was only an inch deep. Cut a few sally branches and stuck them in the ground on it. 3 Years later I have a perfect island to hide the boat in when I'm decoyin! Edited June 23, 2012 by remi700 Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 22,851 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Willow if its in shallow water/mud or leylandii if its dry ground, you can plant em round a pallet hide. Quote Link to post

Ghillie2506 3 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Go to agree on the willow, we take cuttings and put them around our ponds on the estate, grows very quick, could put some birch round about for variation. Quote Link to post
Blakloks 5 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Do you just take a cutting anywhere on the tree or branches from a particular part of the tree Quote Link to post
