I have done the 7m of the first row of the new hedge 50 bare root samplings planted. I will now do a random intermixed second row to give it some thickness.

Also have a separate beech hedge to extend along another side of the property.

Time for a coffee ☕

Have had a nice day and managed to get out and do more of the hedge planting. So the first line of hawthorn is now at 4m. I really hope that the roots take. The ground is so bad, with a gravel substrate that I have needed to pack the holes with fir wood chips (as I have no spare soil), the roots are also gel treated.

So day 3 of project #HedgePlanting I am working my day job so have just temporary "planted" the remaining trees in my raise beds in the poly tunnel and hopefully will be able to put in an hour after work

So final update of #HedgePlanting and drive project day two. I went back out and managed to cut the thick telegraph pole, so could flip the two pieces into place to line the driveway. Will line them with quartz rocks along the actual gravel line.

An update on the #HedgePlanting the first row of hawthorn is at 2m. Taken a break as wind has started to really blow making it a little harder. Plus need to still try and cut a telegraph pole so can move.

Day two of the #HedgePlanting project has started and the first six hawthorn are in the ground, one meter of the front row completed.

I am using rooting gel, and a fir mulch from a rotten tree that was professionally taken down for the solar project to keep the grass from competing too hard.

First row will be planted 20cm apart with added second row planted a little more randomly with a mix of species.

Photo shows the start of the process with the first two in the ground.
