OK, so this is probably going to sound a bit daft, but please advise me on how best to tackle planting out my new lavender hedge.
I have about 50-60 feet to plant. Spent the weekend digging it over and ridding it of about 3 years weeds. I have the right compost. I have the lavender plants ordered (misshapes so about a £1 each for hidcots (?sp?). I have about half a tonne of bark mulch to put down to suppress the weeds.
So...given how much there is I am intending some kind of factory line approach...but should I:
1)Dig compost in
2) Plants lavenders
3)Shovel/rake over bark
Or
- Dig in compost
- Spread bark over
- Plant Lavender
Or something else.
I know it seems like such a daft question but am not a gardener. I cannot work out the easiest/best way to do it.
Oh, And I now hate digging
