The way hares chop into new plantings, there may not be a hedge left by the weekend!
The outfit I work for will be planting 1200 native trees later this month,as we do every winter, and each tree will have a plastic tree guard supported by 2-3 bamboo stakes.
It's a hassle and adds to the cost but the alternative is well-fed hares & no trees.
Hot barrels maca!
