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.

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.

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.
