How to Plant and Care for Bare Root Hedging

Planting bare root hedging is straightforward, even if you are new to gardening. A little preparation goes a long way in helping your hedge settle in and thrive.

  • Best time to plant: Late autumn to early spring, when the plants are dormant.
  • Soil preparation: Loosen the ground and mix in compost to encourage strong root growth.
  • Planting: Dig a trench, spread out the roots, backfill with soil, and firm gently.
  • Spacing: Adjust depending on the variety and the density of the hedge you want.
  • Aftercare: Water well after planting and keep the soil moist in the first growing season.

Mulching around the base helps lock in moisture and keeps weeds down while your hedge establishes.
