Hedge planting

On one side of our small holding, the boundary is marked by a fence rather than a hedge. Our plan is to plant a traditional hedge containing a variety of native species, especially if they produce fruit or nuts. A hedge will help to increase shelter and create a habitat for wildlife. Last week we planted our first part of the hedge - two holly bushes that have sat pot bound in plant pots in our back garden. They don't produce fruit we can pick but at least we've made a start on planting the hedge. We only have another 200 metres to go!
