  2. OVERVIEW PLANTING A MIXED NATIVE HEDGE CAN BE A GREAT WAY TO CREATE A NATURAL AND DIVERSE BOUNDARY FOR YOUR GARDEN OR PROPERTY. HERE ARE SOME GENERAL STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN PLANTING A MIXED NATIVE HEDGE

  3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOCATION The location of your hedge is essential. Make sure the site is well-drained and receives adequate sunlight. Also, ensure no underground utilities or pipes could be damaged during planting.

  4. SELECT YOUR HEDGE PLANTS Choose a mix of native shrubs and trees suitable for your location and soil type. Some examples of native hedge plants include hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, dogwood, and field maple.

  5. PREPARE THE SOIL Remove any weeds or grass from the planting area and dig over the soil to a depth of around 30cm. Add organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to improve the soil structure.

  6. PLANT THE HEDGE Dig a trench that is wide and deep enough to accommodate the roots of your hedge plants. Plant your shrubs and trees regularly along the channel, ensuring the bases are covered with soil and the plants are firmly in place. Water the hedge thoroughly after planting.

  7. MAINTAIN THE HEDGE Keep the hedge well-watered during the first year after planting. Trim the hedge regularly to encourage dense growth and maintain its shape. Remove any dead or diseased branches as soon as they appear.
