Hedge haircut
Saint Hippolyte
A break in the wet weather so a morning spent trimming the other leylandii hedge. Cutting to just above head height is very very easy, you just wave the hedge trimmer about and voila a pile of cuttings on the floor. Cutting the top half proved a little more difficult. I made some progress balanced on a step ladder on the trailer attached to the mower, but the hedge is too tall, and consequently too wide to cut into the center. The only thing for it was to climb up inside the hedge and perch myself up each tree with my head poking out above the top. Whirling round like a demented Dalek produced a great result, sorting out the center part a treat. I think for safety's sake I will have to lop the top half of the hedge out to made it more managable in the future.
