I am wondering if it would be good fertilising exercise to put down the fallen leaves, cut grass or twigs of the plants in the garden under the hedge over the ground where the hedges are planted in the long run. I guess doing so wouldn't harm or give negative effects to the hedge growth? What...

My bosch drills look older than that model, but look very similar. They are still going strong. Made up a wooden gate for the path between the shed and hedges with the scrap slats lying around the garden using the old bosch drill. My drills are brushed, but never needed replacement yet, and...

Bux or privet hedges are all good in the middle blocking as they grow dense and yet soft cats cannot hang on to the leaves or branches. But they have the gaps at the bottom, where cats find their ways coming in. These hedges also look so nice and clean fresh when nicely trimmed with good...

Yes, this was what I was hoping, but they seem making gaps where sunlight doesn't reach, not growing. I have been putting down the holly tree leaves, but maybe some shade loving plants could be planted in the gaps just to block the gaps.

We don't see any wild life around here apart from some seagulls and mag pies. Cats in this area seem not able to climb privet hedges over 6ft tall, but they sneak through the holes in the bottom of the hedge. They are not welcome into the garden due to their making mess on the grass. The mess...

Wild life is ok passing into the garden, and do whatever they can for their living. But we want to block cats or dogs coming into our garden, because they belong to someone else, and they also mess the garden and grass.

I opened a battery powered blue coloured professional Bosch drill, because it was playing up (intermittent non working when pressed to GO). The drill was just over a year old which passed the warranty, bought new from Screwfix. It was hardly used, so I wanted to get it working. It was such a...

We can see the next door nieghbor had put on some sort of fish net all over the high wooden fence in their back garden with the gaps to block the cats, and it seems working for them. It looks like their wooden fence was letting the cats in via the gaps between the vertical slats, now totally...

Will get some photos of the hedge in due course.

That looks like totally different type hedge to our privet hedge. Our privet hedge is a lot dense, and if there were no holes at the bottom, it would block cats no problem.

Our hedges are about 6ft+ tall and very wide, so cats cannot jump over it. But they get through via the holes at the bottom. Since I put down the holly tree branches and leaves, and pushed them into the holes, it seems to be definitely making effective blocking the cats. But then the hedge...

Good idea & advice. Thank you.

It is the hedge holes by the way. About a foot height and 4-5 ft length at the bottom of the hedge at the corner where it runs parallel with the shed and the sunlight is blocked. I swept the leaves into it trying to fill, but not quite enough to totally block, so planning to trim the holly...

We have privet hedge in the front and back garden. Both hedges have holes at the bottom near the ground and some in the middle as well. What would be best way to get the holes filled again? I was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground into the bottom holes of the hedges hoping it will...

I don't work in the shed often, but some days when in the shed, it would be handy to put the camping gas stove on while I am in there. Camping gas stove has advantage in that it is so convenient to put it on, and no smells or smokes, instantly heats up (I have a metal can which works as heat...
