Hedge Plants: Conservation Hedge

This native British hedge plant mix will produce a typical traditional mixed country hedge, The photo shows a mature example, around 2m high. It makes a good people and stock proof barrier.

Why A mixed Native Hedge?

First off, they're great for wildlife. A recent study found a whopping 2070 animal species in a typical 85m stretch of mixed native hedge. A thick hedge which will be a real boon for a range of wildlife, including small mammals, birds, bees and other insects. Native hedges give wildlife a safe habitat and food all year round and also act as safe corridors for movement.

Traditional hedges aren't just pretty. They kept livestock in fields for hundreds of years before barbed wire, and do just as good a job keeping people out. The impenetrable barrier they form also make a very good privacy hedge. Many of the species here are fast growing too - any mix like this one based on Hawthorn (synonym "Quickthorn") will establish very fast.

Mixed hedges like this are really good at reducing particulate pollution in cities. They can help with flood control too, particularly in urban situations, and are a stupidly overlooked carbon sink.

Our Hedge Plants

We select plants are selected from at least 5 species (see below) to give the hedge gives all year round interest. There will be flowers in the spring and summer, autumn colour, and fruit, nuts and berries in the autumn and winter. Our hedging is all British grown from seed harvested here. Your hedge should reach around head high in 3 years, depending on conditions.

Bare root

We're offering a premium pack of 60-100cm plants, grown in Yorkshire and suitable for grant funded planting. Each hedge pack consists of 50 plant pack for 10m, or 500 plants, enough for 100m in a double staggered row. We can also quote for larger projects - get in touch.

Bare root whips are available for delivery from November until the end of March.

Cell Grown

If available, these are smaller 20-50cm plants, which look more like jumbo plugs. They're available to plant from September to the end of April, so a longer season than the bare root plants. Partly for this reason and partly on grounds of cost, these kind of plants are widely used in commercial forestry. We sell them in a minimum quantity of 150, enough for 30m of a typically spaced hedge (see below).  Buy either with or without canes and biodegradable guards. 

What's In The Hedge Mix?

Like many hedges across the UK, the premium and standard conservation hedge mix options are based on Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), giving structure, spikeyness (is that a word?), speed of establishment, and high value for wildlife. The Hawthorn makes up 50% of the mix, and the other 50% is 5 other mixed native species (more for multiple packs).

We chose from these species, according to availability: Crab apple (Malus sylvestris), Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), Dog rose (Rosa canina) or another native rose, Field Maple (acer campestre), Hazel (Corylus avellana)Wild cherry (Prunus avium), Guelder rose (Viburnum opulus), Common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea), Wild privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Common Buckthorn (Alnus frangula) and Beech (Fagus sylvatica).These are plants which will establish well in a wide variety of conditions including shade, are widely distributed across the UK, and traditionally found in hedgerows. If you have horses and they will be able to graze the hedge when it is established, you might prefer our stock friendly hedging, which is also made up of native British hedging plants (not available in as cell grown plants).

This mix has only 50% Hawthorn to improve its biodiversity. If you wanted a higher proportion please ask.

If you're planting a mixed hedge, why not add Holly  or our native Honeysuckle to it?

All our hedge plant suppliers are members of the gold standard Plant Healthy Scheme.

How Do I plant My Hedge?

To make a stock proof hedge, whips are usually planted at 5 plants per metre in a staggered double row, or 7 plants in a triple row. Weirdly, DEFRA are currently requiring 6 plants a metre in a double row for grant aided schemes. Plant each species in a small group of 3-5 plants, and each row 50cm or so apart. We sell our conservation hedge bare root whips in packs of 50 or 500 plants, so enough for 10m or 100m of hedge (with discounts for larger numbers). You might want to plant a wider, less dense hedge, which would not be stock proof but helpful for wildlife. In which case plant the rows up to 1m apart. Please look at our blog or video for help on establishment and maintenance.

We recommend Rootgrow for speedy establishment, and sell wool mulch for new plants.

We offer a nationwide hedge planting service for larger projects; please get in touch for a quote.

Great chair!
Color: Black
Had some issues with Delivery! But got the chair. Beautiful and comfortable. Had one once before as a gaming chair, same kind but bought it from walmart. I used to fall asleep in it all the time. Now i have it for work! One of the best chairs for the cheapest price you can get! If you want a more comfortable chair then this..... your looking at about 300 bucks. Which is next on my list! It comes with its own screws and washers. The manual is self explanatory however you do kinda gotta play the guessing game. It's pretty simple! match the screws up with the ones in diagram. It comes with an Alan wrench. Your hand might be a bit tired tho. I advise to tighten them with super lock tight or gorilla glue so they never come unloose. And gorilla glue the bolt covers on. Keep in mind if you use gorilla glue..... they will never come off. Lol. But as far as tighting it.... do not over tighten it. Tighten enough to where you have to put some pressure on it to turn it half way and stop. Another tip, it's a bit of a pain to set it up with one person. If you got an extra set of hands... use em. If not.... you might be their for a bit. Start with setting up base. Then put arms on seat. (Keep bolts loose but screwed in. You'll see why later when you tighten them down) Then attach back to arms and seat. (Now make sure bolts are in holes and tighten them down. But not at once! Do about 4 turns, move to another one. Then the other side. It's like tightening lug nuts on the wheel of a car. If you tighten one all the way down it will throw all the other bolts off and make it much more difficult to ease the bolts into the holes they go in) Then attach seat to base. Believe me. It's way easier if you do it like that instead of how the installation instructions say. After that, put the caps on the holes to cover the bolts. If you don't glue them, they will pop off ..... their not..... super good. But!!!! 1 or 2 drops of gorilla glue and you never have to worry about them popping off. (They seem like they go on their tight, but they don't stay on!)

Nice chair but definitely not breathable.
Color: Black
Once I figured out the arms had a left and right...the chair was easy to put together. The faux leather is nice. The seat is (or will be once I break it in) very comfortable. I have 2 minor complaints. It is extremely straight up and down. I haven't had much chance to play with it to see if I can get it to recline even an inch. That would help. And number two, it's HOT. I'm going to have to get some sort of seat pad because the pleather is not breathable and every time I get up my bum is sweaty. I know, TMI. But all in all I think it will serve my purposes.

Good quality, fairly easy assembly
Color: White
Comfortable chair as advertised. Assembly time about 20 minutes with one screwdriver needed. (Note: don't follow the instructions included. Lay the left arm assembly down on the floor and THEN affix the seat, followed by turning that over on its side and adding the right arm assembly. Trying to affix the two arms in an upright position is too difficult as directed.) The only thing I don't like about it is the fluted upholstery on the seat and back, where a bit more padding would have helped greatly. Otherwise, it's comfortable and functional and reasonably priced. Delivery was on time. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AFTER 18 MONTHS OF USE: I've used the chair for 6-8 hours a day. The leather on the arms is cracking in multiple places. This is a big disappointment. And speaking of the arms, there's a major problem with the sewing of the leather on the outside edge of both left and right arms: the stitching is on the top at the outer edge, which means that it forms a jagged edge that your arms scrape on when resting on the leather. That jagged edge scraping my skin has caused a great deal of chafing, is most irritating, and could have been avoided entirely if they had just applied the stitching one inch further down on the side rather than along the top flat edge. This is a major design flaw. I will not buy this chair again because of the one flaw and the too-thin, cracking leather on the flat top of the arms, which is too bad, because it's fine in all other ways.
