I have no eye, so my straight lines aren't. I try running string the
length of the hedge, but that does not work well, apart from anything
else I tend to keep cutting the string, also of course it bows in the
middle. Is there any way of ensuring I cut my mini hedge straight? I
have a laser level, but sadly that does not show up in the bright
outdoors. TIA

Don't bother. Go all Piet Oudolf and have a 'cloud' hedge!
It is box hedge about calf height.

Can you firmly attach your hedge trimmer to something with wheels?
(Lawnmower, bicycle, pushchair etc)

You might have to lay a plank on the ground to make a smooth surface to
run on.
