Position

When planting your hedging, consider how quickly you would like to see results. By planting closer together, you will achieve an established hedge more quickly, whereas planting them further apart means it'll take a little more time. The best spot for your hedge will depend on which type of hedging you choose, so make sure to check out the specific growing preferences of your hedging variety before planting.

Soil

Before planting, enrich your soil with nutrients by adding Kings Compost and Kings Sheep Pellets. If your soil is clay-based, we would recommend adding Claybreaker Gypsum to give your hedge the best start. If you are working with larger plants, be sure to stake them while their roots get established.

Plant

Consider how the plant is already growing before planting. Place your plant so the bushier side is facing towards the next plant, as this will help your hedge to fill in more quickly. Once you're finished planting give your hedge a deep watering to help them settle in.
