Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hedges, in the broadest sense of the term, is any narrow surface of land, which is permanently occupied by plant sets of one or more species. From a different angle, it could be said that a hedge is the set of woody plants planted in relatively close, close or very close distances to form with or without pruning a plant barrier or wall. The first approach is quite open and from a certain point of view, more complete. And this, since it allows the inclusion under the term Hedges even in those that do not contain woody species. Thus, among the Hedges, one can count on those created by various grasses - some of which have extremely interesting functional and other characteristics. The plant populations planted along the border or on the boundary for fencing purposes are called hedges. The low-growing perennial plant grown on the border, plots, beds, lawns, and pathways are called hedge plants. Each plant plays a vital role in ornamental horticulture. A hedge is usually the shrubs. They play an important role in the structure and character of the garden and provide many practical uses. It may be ornamental or protective or both. These are also necessary to restrict the garden from a public road and adjacent gardens, particularly in flat gardens. Fast-growing hedges are a cheap and time-effective way to establish a fully-formed garden feature or screening plant, with all of our hedges boasting an average growth rate of 40-60cm per annum. Before you know it, your hedge will be at its desired height and will have transformed the look of your garden. Despite their impressive growth rate, fast-growing hedging is actually a relatively low-maintenance choice, often needing to be pruned just twice a year to keep it tidy and to shape. If you're looking for a hedge to bring privacy and security to your garden, fast-growing hedging is an excellent choice, as they can grow up to 5m in height. Fast-growing Conifer and evergreen hedging plants are a particularly popular option for adding extra privacy, although our team is happy to help you choose a fast-growing hedge that is right for you. Planting fast-growing hedging is also a wonderful way to attract more wildlife to your garden, as it provides food and shelter to birds. Want to discover more? Grab a copy of this book now.

Download or read book DIY Hedge Gardening System written by Arnold Kuntz Ph D and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hedge is an excellent natural shelter. It can be a flourishing home for wildlife and shield your garden from the wind. Fences are quick and easy to put up, but don't offer much for any animals which might live in your garden. They can also deflect the wind in a way that can damage fragile plants. Hedges on the other hand, can be a mini paradise for animals, full of fruit, shelter and cover. In fact, for every foot of hedge height, there are ten horizontal feet of shelter! The best hedges are made up of several different species which come into leaf, flower and fruit at different times. This gives them year-round value for animal visitors. They're also a great way of introducing mixed native hedgerow species and reflecting the surrounding natural countryside. In more urban gardens, you'll have to keep on top of its growth though, as it can easily develop into a tall impenetrable thicket if you're not careful!The type of plant you have, or choose to have in your hedge, will affect its height. So as hedges are fairly permanent structures, you should think carefully about what to plant and how high you'd like it before you start. Plants like rosemary and heather are only suited to hedges up to 60cm (2 ft.), but hawthorn and beech can grow much higher and be kept at around 1-3m (3-10 ft.), or even taller!Small trees, such as rowan and crab apple are also useful in a hedge. You can include them in a new hedgerow or encourage hawthorn and blackthorn to develop in an established one. Leyland Cypress has been a popular choice for a long time as it very easily forms an instant hedge shape. However, it grows very fast (1m per year) and can reach huge unmanageable heights. Generally speaking, its disadvantages can outweigh its advantages. It doesn't have a lot of benefit to wildlife and tends to suck up all of the nutrients from a 3m radius. Whatever combination of plants you choose; a hedge can be a welcome and useful part of our gardens and a great home for nature.

Book excerpt: A practical, ordinary person's guide to choosing, planting, and caring for the world's most popular plants, Shrubs & Hedges delivers all the know-how you'll need to grow beautiful, healthy shrubs. Whether they're flowering shrubs or evergreen hedges, these long-lived plants fill a lot of space in our landscapes; yet they don't capture as much attention as perennials, annuals, and even trees. The front doors and picture windows of millions of houses world-wide are adorned by shrubs. Despite their ubiquity, selecting and maintaining shrubs remains a mystery to many.

But as you'll discover in the pages of Shrubs & Hedges, when cared for properly, these workhorse plants have much to offer. They mask foundations, delineate property lines, increase privacy, stabilize soils, provide food for wildlife, and add beauty and interest to the landscape. It’s time for shrubs to take center stage. Shrubs & Hedges eliminates the ambiguities of shrub selection and care by offering: Advice on how to pick the best shrubs for your growing conditions Plant profiles of both dependable classic shrubs and new rising stars Step-by-step propagation instructions for making more shrubs—for free! Shrub identification tips A lesson on the value of hedges and hedgerows The best shrubs for pollinators and other wildlife Pruning illustrations and tips to maximize shrub performance and health Tips for designing with shrubs Drawing on her decades of experience in the plant-care and landscape industries, author and horticulture educator Eva Monheim proves you don’t have to be a “gardener” to see the value in this extensive group of plants.
