Using weed membrane keeps back weeds and insulates the roots and will greatly increase growth rates, as well as cutting down on your weeding work. Mulching is another great option for insulating the roots and holding back weeds, bark mulch is the most commonly used medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eImportant\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable varieties in this hedge can change depending on availability.
