[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 7822370, member: 12099"] [HEADING=1]"Hedgerows: A patchwork quilt across Devon[/HEADING] Devon has more hedgerows than any other county in England. Line them all up, and they would span 33,000 miles." :facepalm: Mix of all types here some hedges are left for wind break or shade , some are laid , some are annual trimmed and some are cut at 2 or 3 years if it gets too wet and they werent done soon enough like when the pressure was upped when the 'later' trimming rule came in. ime experience and talking as a farmer land owner tenant and ex. selfemployed contractors employee it makes not a lot of odds in the big picture of things as in the extreme if a hedge is let to 'go up' laying will bring it back to a youthful look . big mix of soils here and on the drier ground a lot of hedges dont grow much in 12 months,especially in a dry year so a pragmatic descion can be made at that point , to save costs leave that year to trim the next year , its natural that a contractor wont like less tractor work i suppose, nor will a machinery salesman but along with eco warriors i wont let my hard won long view observations be skewed by them :sneaky: ....now thats enough of this unproductive twaddle and off to trim some hedges, Lol.
