Hey guys n girls

I want to grow a bush :S hedge infront of my house for a little more privacy. How do I do this?

Can you buy hedge row? Were?

netto in the north end were selling privet hedges last week but there wasnt many left.they were only small and will take a while to grow big enough to give any privacy.suppose any garden centre will have them as well

THIS WILL SCARE THOSE NASTY THIEVES OFF!!!





Good luck matey

Haha either that or the one from little shop of horrors



dos anyone know how much hedge costs?

wheels, try the garden centre on the moels stretch, their prices are pretty reasonable.
I`m sure it takes about 10 years to grow a hedge though

If you need a lift to transport to yours give me a shout, i`ll get a van from work!

Drive to a site where they're about to start construction on some ugly buildings and murder all the plantlife... Be a hero and save the bushes from certain death...

and if the fuzz turn up... tell them you're saving George the Bush

Plant some of those conifers, they take a few years to grow but offer ultimate privacy. I'm doing the same.

Thanks bert I have sent them an inquiry

Beech makes a great hedge & keeps its leaves all winter. Quite quick growing too. Get an idea of prices here, but you will be able to get locally from a decent nursery.

Cool thanks chris, that works out about £95

Wheels - put a 'want' on Freecycle. At this time of year many people are moving stuff about in their gardens. I have had several shrubs off there that could be used for hedging - and it won't cost you!!!

Consider Escalonia, evergreen, small leaf, small pink flowers, easy to clip, likes the seaside, neat, even and compact, not fussy where it grows and easy to propagate. Dip a 6 inch clipping in hormone rooting powder, pop in a 6 inch pot and stand back! No, it doesn't grow too quickly, I cut only twice a year.
Forget privet; it's not that dense. Forget conifers; they're trees not shrubs, some too fast and some too slow.

Bad, bad, bad. They poison everything underneath them and grow huge and blot out air and light, regarded as anti-social now.

I think Wheels wants a quick fix, Grand national could be without a fence this year.

anti social trees!!

what's next? Asbo's for nettles?

Can't beat a privet, but takes 3 to 4 years to getting established, you can speed it up a bit with regular feeding, the end result is well worth the wait IMHO.

lol quality

hedge shop

why not put a fence up if you want something quick

A fence would be a little OTT, I already have a nice brick wall with iron type fencing, I only want it for privacy

Or privet-cy
