| Re: Replacing fence with hedge: advice please! Buckingham Nurseries do really cheap, bare-rooted plants and online ordering (although if you can get there and pick your own - that is better) - plan now for this autumn. Very good value and they have native species and offer advice. I went there to get my "twigs" and the quality was very good, so all but one survived the winter. You'll need to do lots of double digging; a square hole is recommended (4 corners anchor the established roots better - lots of organic material, especially if your soil is poor).
A temporary repair of the old fence may be needed while the plants establish, or you can buy cheap screening material from garden centres.
