HOW TO PLANT A HEDGE 
Dig a trench ten to twelve inches deep and as wide as an 
ordinary spade. The plants should then be set in a straight row 
a couple of inches deeper than they stood in the nursery row, or 
deep enough so the lower branches will be under the ground. 
Such deep planting will make a compact hedge down to the 
ground line, but if the plants are set shallow there will always 
be undesirable open spaces at the base of the hedge. Privet 
should be set about ten inched apart, or if real dense hedge is 
desired it can be planted in a double row, planted eight inches 
apart either way. Privet should be cut back to about eight inches 
in height after planting, to promote vigorous growth. Barberry 
should be planted in a similar manner, except they should be 
planted about eighteen inches apart.
