As the price of fencing has gone up drastically i now want to plant a hedge in front of an old fence (sturdy just doesent match the other fences).
I had settled on portugese laurel as its hardy/evergreen/fast growing, however i found out these are poisonous and i have a new baby who will eventually be playing near the hedge.
Is there any alternatives that are:
Hardy.
Evergreen.
Fast growing.
Survive in clay/moist soil.
Non poisonous.
And IDEALLY doesent flower massively, dont want to attract loads of bees etc.
Any ideas guys? Ill be planting them in the ground and laying bark on top of the roots.
Cheers
