EP200- Good Hedging Options For An Irish Garden? A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing and Caring for Hedges.

What are the best hedges for your garden? 

The answer to that is wide and in order for you to choose the best hedge you should ask a few questions first. 

• Do I want evergreen or deciduous ?
• Purpose of the hedge ? Shelter, Noise filter, support biodiversity, frame your garden, create a room or space within your garden etc. 
• What height do I want it to grow to?
• What is my soil like? wet/dry etc
• Situation ? inland / costal
• How many times per year does it need to be cut? can I manage this number of cuts. 

Once you have answered these you are a long way to choosing the perfect hedge for your garden.
