  2. will ive planted a few hedges, the last was with 3m western red cedar. we planted 300m of 2m western red cedar 3 years ago, we pulled a trench through with a mini digger after scraping off the turf and planted in a mix of decent soil and compost. we then covered the area beneath the hedging in woodchip to prevent competition and improve the water retention
