In Cornwall a hedge is like a wall, made with stones but with an earth bank behind. There are many old hedges here, by the road and by the footpath - because there are many hill slopes. The stones are vertical for stability. They will not easily fall. We see soil on them and ferns growing. Then the plants become too heavy and fall down. Behold the upright stones! Trees have roots. Sometimes a big root of a tree on a hedge can push stones outwards. The stones in a hedge or wall can be big or small, regular or irregular. Building is a craft requiring a craftsman. This new garden wall is artificial.
