Hi,

Please can you fill in my quick survey about hedge trimming. 
I am spending time researching into the best way of hedge cutting for longer.

Thanks.

    Instant problem with the first question.  Some people still use shears as they get a better finish.   Your survey assumes everyone is motorised.  An opportunity missed to investigate alternative means.

    Thanks Lyn, I won't try it.

    Is it one of those that needs reporting to the moderator do you think?
