Steps for hedge trimming:
- You should trim the hedge about two or three times a year.
- The optimal time is June, August and then again before the winter break in October.
- With electric garden shears it is quick and easy
- Trim the hedge whenever ivy shoots grow out of the hedge. Cut the shoots flat against the hedge by cutting along the hedge with the hedge trimmer.
- Be careful not to cut any ivy strands but only the tips, as this will cause the strand to die.
- Also trim the "head end" of the hedge. This way the hedge will remain even in height and will always look well-groomed.
As garden shears I use a Cordless grass and shrub shears from Gardena , which I can really recommend. Therefore, I am displaying the shears as a link Gardena Cordless grass and shrub shears .
In the long video documentation I used the Bosch cordless hedge trimmer EasyHedgeCut 18-45 Solo . I can highly recommend this hedge trimmer as it costs less than 100 euros (this is not an advertising link).
