Laurel Hedge problem
Hi,
I have a laurel hedge in front of my house (north facing). Its about 4 ft tall in a narrow soil border in between the outside path and my gravel car park. The soil its in is about 2 ft in diameter border but I find it impossible to weed as there seem to be masses of roots near the surface and the soil seems quite hard / compacked. Are these part of the laurel bushes? Is there anything I should do with it? I cliped it last year as it looked uneven and not its all the same height. Should I feed it with anything or add more / better soil? Thanks |

Thanks Laurels seem to have a mat of fibrous roots fairly close to the surface and are very greedy feeders Also you cant use hedge trimmers on laurel if you want a really good appearance you need to cut with secateurs |
