- Hedges are an important and well-loved feature of the British countryside, as well as being a valuable wildlife habitat. Neglect, rather than removal, is now the greatest threat to hedgerows, and many hedges need laying to encourage new growth from the base. This handbook is the most detailed reference available on hedge laying, and gives clear practical advice for anyone wanting to master this fascinating craft. The many different regional styles are described and illustrated. Detailed advice is also given on choosing suitable species for planting a new hedge, as well as planting techniques and aftercare. Construction and repair of Cornish hedges or banks is included.
