I used to do the same, except there was a real risk that my step-ladder would fall through the hedge because the individual plants are too far apart. So tied a length of plank across the top to spread the load. Nowadays I use a long-reach trimmer and the step-ladder is no longer necessary. I like the plank (or at least - batten) idea! I have a long reach hedge trimmer: it's an electric Ryobi one. Weighs a ton when it's actually doing its thing, i.e. extended. I lent it to my neighbour last year: he's an ex-rugby player and thinks it's fine.... I don't miss it! And yes - good point about the birds, Andy. I never cut my headges between March and the end of June. John |
