He did a great job and since I'm sure you were there at least cheering him on, I'd say it's a "we" job!! :-)

No Marguerite, my husband just did this to have a go - just used a space between the trees. Its a very time consuming job and we dont have much time lol - takes quite alot of willow whips too!
