    Hi
    I have purchased 30 4/5 foot Red Robins to plant as a hedging and intend planting them in organic compost and add a little Bone meal, am I doing the right thing and is there anything I can add either now or a little later to make them grow quicker?
    Many Thanks
    Ray

    I have a couple and they are both in what I would term neglected soil. I really haven't fed or done anything with them for a good couple of years and yet they still have to be cut back each year to keep them down in size.

    I`d say you were doing alright Ray, just make sure to keep them watered until established. :thumb:
