I thought it mght be useful now spring has sprung to have an area where we could ask advice and swap tips about gardening. We have just dug up the front with the idea of putting in a hedge to screen the bins etc. Anyone have any tips or hints with regard to planting hedges? Front garden is pretty sunny and dry so drought resistant hedging needed. Mr Asset wants a regimented, nail-clipped hedge (OCD) where I want something a bit softer, possibly mixed shrubs.
