Is there anything I can use to inhibit hedge growth -

I've read 'Cutlass' was banned and found reference to another product
called
'hedge-rest' but no details where to buy it.

Any advice appreciated.

As the general trend now is to encourage wild life and use as few
chemicals
as possible, this may no longer be for sale. Can you really not use
shears
or a hedge trimmer once or twice a year or get someone to do that for you?

I just spent 3 hours of my life cutting it...

my back hurts
my arms hurt
my heart is aching
tomorrow it will be worse

If there is nothing available then so be it, but I was only asking ;0)

3 hours of your life. ;-( Now, let's see, what could *possibly* be worse.
3 hours in surgery, 3 hours in the dentist's chair, 3 hours ironing (ha!), 3
hours of a pop concert - my personal hell! ;-))
My suggestion is - pay someone else to do it, bribe them, OR, more
realistically, tackle it like eating the elephant, a little at a time; an
hour a day - or an hour every other day. Let's aim for a sense of
achievement here, as in "look at our beautiful hedge, I look after it
myself, you know and every spring, it's full of birds' nests......." Okay,
my name is Pollyanna and you hate me. ;-)
