After the harsh cold -16 degrees C winter, and the very dry spring, the privet hedge has taken a bashing. So time to give it some tender loving care. As you can see from these pictures, it’s lacking a lot of new growth. We’ve spent the afternoon, marking out a new border, so the lawn is not up to the base of the hedge, and tidy up underneath the hedge, to increase air flow, and later I’ll be installing a water irrigation system to regularly water the hedge everyday. The soil underneath the hedge is bone dry, and then later give the hedge a good feed.
