Natural Fence - how to takie care of it

If we decide to have as much nature at our home as it is only possible we choose also ecological things to our garden. We would be more interested in having at the garden live fence than just a regular one. So, let's get this beautiful element of garden architecture as functional and as beautiful as it can be.

Hedges are beautiful elements of our garden design. Of course, it is not to easy to make it look this way and we have to make a small effort to achieve that. If it looks unhealthy, old and have not enough leaves it will make a miserable impression and won't be an ornament for our garden. What's more this kind of fence won't also play its role and will bring us problems - neighbours might have some suggestions and complains about the look of our live fence.

The important in having fabulous hedge would be the starting point. So were to begin? First step would be choosing the best plants and plant them at the best time. Planting small leaves plants and evergreen ones, cause these we should choose to create this kind of fence, should start at the beginning of Autumn. Each plant should have enough place for itself to gain as much sun as it needs. It's worth to check also what type of soil do we have - is it soft (we should add more day to it) or hard (we can make it more soft by using sand).

Next matter at the beginning would be support for plants. We would be willing to make a small support for plants, to make it more practical. If we still would be interested in having and almost full natural fence let's choose wooden fence. But when doing so we should remember that we can install it not closer than 50 centimetres. Doing so will help us avoid troubles. If we would like to make it more elegant we can make the entrance from pergola or an arch.

We put mulch, cork on the soil and water whole - that's the important things while taking care of the fence that we have already started to grow. But that's also just a beginning cause we will have much more things to do. The most important would be fertilizing. This task we should do regularly but usually once or twice a year. And we also have to remember to cut the fence. We could also buy a decorative cork that would protect the soil from drying out.
