Any tips for growing a thick screening hedge?
For best results, ensure your soil has been well prepared. If lacking in nutrients, consider adding organic compost or additional nutrient dense soil. Consider a drip system for easy watering. Slow release fertaliser or gentle organic feralizer will add to the overall health of the plants. A layer of mulch will also help retain moisture.
