I use a different and more commercial method than that on the video, I spray off the planting line about a month before planting, then brushcut or strim (according to density of weeds) about a week before planting. I slot plant hedging whips of around 45-60cm height, guarding with cane and spiral (no holes – as we maintain with spray for 3 to 5 years after planting), I plant on average 125-140m a day @ 4 plants per metre – my best day was 170m !. Quality hedging whips are very very hardy and the main thing that will do for them is roots drying out – so don’t let them.

Hi there.

Great video but I was just wondering when do you remove the plastic protectors? We’re hoping to palnt a hawthorn hedge in our garden and have three rabbits who will be running aorund in that part of the garden. At what stage would you say it’s safe to remove the plastic protectors and if you leave it too long will they inhibit side growth?

Many thanks.

Hi Gemeos

sorry you had problems with the video. Seems to be working now. If still not working for you try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUc3Zm7u9CE on You Tube.

Hmm, shame the video is no longer available

We need to dig out the remains of what was a builders yard from our front garden before we can even contemplate a good hedge along the border. It will be done though, wildlife needs homes!

Brilliant video! Really helped – enjoyed the music too! Will use the same format for my new hedge.Made it look easy – hope it will be. Must go and plant as we are now into April!
