2 Hedge Questions
Hi all
Another plea for recommendations please. I have 2 locations for which hedge/planting suggestions would be appreciated: 1) to separate 2 drives - definite hedge required here max 5' tall - 2' wide Don't want boring privet/hawthorne/beach, prefer something colourful and fragrant Must be evergreen. Doesn't have to be too fast growing. Will tend to get morning sun only. Soil is heavy clay which has been broken up and much vegetable matter and general purpose compost added. 2) To "improve the street scene" planted in front of a north facing fence. Doesn't need to be a hedge as such, more individual plants, particularly to hide 6' concrete posts and 1' high gravel board. The fence will be set 500mm back from a public footpath to allow for this planting, so don't want anything that desparately wants to spread far from the fence. Another consideration here is that I want to grow stuff (perhaps fruit trees) trained on the south side of the same fence. So whatever is put on the north side shouldn't affect the area 2-3' south IYSWIM. So nothing that's going to drag all the nutrients out. Soil here will have been sucked dry by a line of Blue Lawson firs, so any recommendations on how to rejuvenate the area would be appreciated. Thanks to anyone who's read this far and can be bothered to reply Phil |
