Best time of year to trim hedgerow
Hello -
I've inherited responsibility for maintaining a couple of hundred metres of unkempt hedgerow in Devon. The hedge contains many different species, with some of them being ferociously spiky. I've got a sturdy petrol hedgetrimmer with a longish reach, and I don't mind the exercise at all. What's the best time for trimming it? It seems a pity to trim it now, because it's full of berries, insects and birds. The local farmers seem to trim their hedges in the early autumn, but would that deprive the birds of berries for the winter? Any tips gratefully received. |
