    Looking for a little advise really, on what I could plant in the border leading up the left side of the hedge, at the minute it's just wood chippings... What's the best thing to plant infront of a hedge? This side off the garden gets the sun most of the day also... Any thoughts or suggestions would be great, also any pictures I'd like.... Many thanks Steve.

      Lovely looking hedge scooby, unfortunately it will be taking all the moisture and nutrients from the soil, so you might struggle to establish anything perennial. Thinking as it gets so much sun, would shallow rooted plants manage, things that like their crowns on soil level or above, peonies or iris, I am sure someone will come up with better suggestions.:dbgrtmb:
