Planting a hedge is not as easy as it looks - not that I have ever watched one being planted now that I think about it. Our plan was to use the traditional 'easy' method: push the spade in, create a gap and push in your 'quick'. The problem is that our hawthorn plants have fantastic root systems and can't possibly be pushed in. Instead we have to dig a trench and plant them properly. It takes two of us most of a day to do just over 200 (only 550 to go!) Fortunately in anticipation of a tiring day I have prepared supper already so we just have to slump on the sofa and eat.
