Hello All
Thanks to Henriette, Pat in Plymouth, Richard and Glenna for your
ideas. I have gone for hazel as the hedge.
This looks easy to grow and I might get a few nuts (and a few canes to
use for growing beans etc). I think I'll try a few haws or
redcurrants later on, as bushes.
I spoke to the Woodland Trust http://www.woodland-trust.org.uk/ and
the lady there was very helpful.
Actually Anna, I've started a small (20ft) lavendar hedge as well;
around part of the the lawn. Very nice. Okay Boxer, not edible, I
admit, but useful in the cat litter tray.

Thanks
AJ
