Can anyone recommend a groundcover plant which would spread underneath the hedge and keep the weeds at bay? Preferably something quick spreading.
Thanks

You could try Lamium [but sometimes it is a thug and won't stay where wanted], or periwinkle, preferably the small flowering forms, or even a small ivy kept shaved. Whatever you use, you will have to plan on at least one plant every foot of fence, and if you have bindweed you must kill it off first if you can.
