Trimming Hedges
r PRIMMING hedges is often regarded as a troublesome job and done in a perfunctory manner with the result that their condition and appearance leave much to be desired. By keeping the base slightly broader than the top, maintaining a gentle slope, greater stability will be secured. If the required height has not been reached, shorten the top growths by six inches or so to ensure density. After trimming the hedge, clear out any weeds from the base, removing any of a perennial nature by the roots.
