Allotment hedge advice
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 8:28 am
Having managed to get a second 80m lot of chain-link fencing out of our council, we have to install it ourselves, I am looking at allowable ways of making our boundary spiky and un-climable.
For those that do not know barbed wire is a no-no these days.
I hope to get some mixed hedging , out of the council, with hawthorn, dog-rose and blackthorn. However I would like something a bit more decorative each side of the gates.
I was thinking of a vigerous pyracanthus or a hedgehog holly.
We are on a north-facing slope, heavy clay, east-west shallow valley with trees/houses each side, oh and its a bit of a frost pocket.
Any advice on my favoured plants or some better suggestions please.
