I badly need my front garden fenced off but it turns out than even a small 3ft fence round it would cost a couple of hundred quid. I was looking at an on-line store for wildflowers for the back garden and saw that they also do 'Native Hedging' comprising of Guelder Rose, hawthorn, blackthorn, dog rose, sweet briar, spindle, wayfarer tree, field maple, hazel, dogwood and alder-blackthorn. Buying enough for the garden would only cost about 60pounds so it sounds a cheaper option, but more than that I really like the idea of these plants for the birds.
Does anyone have this type of hedging??? or even some of the above mentioned in their garden... I like the sound of it, but wonder at the likes of keeping it under control etc. Are there any pitfalls lurking round the corner??
