So many garden magazines, so many shows, so many articles, blogs and opinions. So much information, so many handy hints and useful tricks.
There are many ways in which to prune a rose, infinite combinations of colours and forms, many effective fertilisers for every plant and purpose. However, each of us will find our own favourites, our own set ways, our own rules of thumb.
Over the years of working in the great outdoors, I have observed many interesting situations, met some champions and some pukes, and have gleaned many a juicy tidbit of knowledge which I have boiled down to the purest nuggets of gold. I impart these sage words with the hope that they will bring you happy lucky fortune and hold you in good stead.

HEDGES = 2 STEPS FORWARD, 1 STEP BACK
