ED SCOFIELD 
LIVING FENCE, 
Lead Thiel 
| planted a Living Fence in my own gar- 
den on April 25 last year. By the middle 
of July, it was over 2 ft. high, 18 inches 
through and it was full and solid. Here’s 
a picture of it that I took August 1. 
By the end of Summer . . . just 5 months 
after the plants were set out . . . my 
Living Fence was 30 inches tall and 18 
inches through. It was so solid and 
dense that my 4 month old puppy 
couldn’t get through it. 
You should have the same kind of re- 
sults and you shouldn't be satisfied with 
anything less. If your Living Fence isn’t 
full and solid, you can make it that way 
by giving it the right kind of care. 
First, don't be afraid to cut off new 
growth, Pruning doesn’t hurt the plants 
a bit. The more you cut it back, the 
bushier and fuller it becomes. If your 
Living Fence is not uniform, cut it back 
just as hard as you want. Remember, 
cutting won't hurt .. . it will encourage 
more new growth to come up from the 
base. 
Next, give your Living Fence several 
light applications of fertilizer to keep it 
growing vigorously. My own plants were 
not fertilized af all, but they were 
_ planted in reasonably good soil to start 
with. If your soil is dry and baked out, 
probably your Living Fence is starving. 
Remember that a new planting must 
have lots of plant food if it's to grow 
fast. 
The more you prune and the more you 
fertilize, the more new growth you will 
have. Once you get a good solid base 
started, your Living Fence will grow as 
well or better than mine.
