Default What ground preparation is required prior to re-planting a hedge?

The message
from Janet Conroy contains
these words:


The Free Tree Scheme sounds interesting - I must Google it.
The grindings from the stumps should be well-rotted by now and will
have put some goodness into the ground, but I agree with Rusty on
prep.
The other problem with new hedges is weeding, where you can damage the
roots of the whips when they are young. If the ground is weed-free I'd
consider a weed-suppressing membrane and planting the whips thro it and
then mulching with bark chips or something to cover it up.
It you click on the "hedge" tag at the top of the page there are lots
of posts which might be useful.


This is Urg, not gardenbanter.

Gardenbanter is a web forum or something like that.

What you see on your computer is a nicked newsgroup. Why not subscribe
to a news server and get the newsgroup all fresh and green?

You know it makes scents...
