Hello all
This should be in the school garden thread but I thought more people amy help here? Feel free to move to best place though!
OUr primary school garden group has just received from ASDA?BTCV a tree hedging pack with 15 native saplings in including 3 of Field Malpe, wayfaring tree, Beech, Hazel and Wild Cherry. The info that has come with the pack gives general info on how to dig a hole etc but not in realtion of how you plant them as a hedge!
Does anyone have any experience of planting tree hedging? I need some tips ie how far apart, how to keep height in check..generally things to consider really.
The area we were thinking of is where a wooden fence currently sits to keep the children out of woodland, however Im now worried that it may be compacted with roots and unplantable.
I only got them yesterday and had no notice that we were one of 200 schools selected so no time to plan! The saplings are currently in a bucket of water on my front step. We have discussed temporaily planting them in large planters/dustins until a more permanaent home can be found!
All advice needed and welcomed!! Im a parent volunteer who organises the garden groups at school, but this is out of my experience really! Want to put them to good use though!
Thankyou in advance
