Living hedge in the cottage

To date, the fastest growing hedge from coniferous plants is considered to be the optimal option. Choosing a place for planting, you need to pull the cord and dig a trench. Almost all kinds of plants for a fence are planted at a distance of 60 cm from each other. This will subsequently allow them to expand freely.

For shrubs, regardless of the species, before planting it is necessary to prepare the soil. If there is a need to form a thick, impenetrable hedge, you can use 2 tiers of plants, one of them - a hive of a dog rose. Some experts recommend an impenetrable fence to plant from 3 different plant species. Between each leave a distance of about 0.5 m.

Planting bushes in the prepared trenches, you need to properly fertilize the soil. It is worth remembering that young shoots do not like humus. Only after 2 years of growth in the soil can plants fertilize this substance.
