We will conduct maintenance pruning hedges: a simple job with the hedges that we will grow properly. . Traditionally, gardens hedges have been cut with scissors , but it is a slow and, at times, exhausting. Technology allows us to enjoy today some progress, such as hedge trimmers electric, that will facilitate this task. But before we get to trim the hedges , we must know the basis of the cut.
When performing maintenance pruning hedges, the hedge will start wearing more on top because it is in this area that tends to widen. Thus, make sure that the bottom is a little more outgoing. If we let grow the top end up overshadowing the bottom, it would remain bald, naked, and we could not recover and the lush greenery. .
We should also note that the hedges must be cut or pinzarlos very often so they are well dense and closed, in short, is more beautiful as they are. One of the typical problems of the hedges made with conifers is that they tend to turn brown, with almost withered leaves, when they are affected by different fungi and insects. Avoid this situation by using a specific fertilizer that has a high concentration of magnesium. Magnesium, applied at the base of the hedge, give strength to the conifer and act preemptively, preventing fungi and insects deface the hedge. .
In this simple way we have seen how to perform maintenance pruning hedges and achieve adequate growth. If we are fortunate to enjoy a garden , sometimes well usually plant different hedges to demarcate areas or simply to decorate the garden . .This time we show how to plant a hedge to be located in a corner of our garden and help to delimit and separate it from the outside as well as reinforcing the wall we have. .
