Hedge Trimmers

When I had finished giving my box hedge its winter trim on Sunday, it is that time of the year by the way, I decided that next time I would use a machine….
Indoors and over a cup of tea I had a rummage on the web and turned up an excellent summary of what to think about and look for on GardenVisit.com (an entirely excellent site by the way, full of really good stuff and the best garden visit planner I have ever seen)
It sort of breaks down like this:

If you have a small hedge, do it by hand, but if you have a larger hedge (or hedges) to keep tidy, then you will make your life easier with a power hedge trimmer tool rather than a hand tool. The choice then is between the relatively expensive but more powerful petrol hedge trimmers or the cheaper but weaker electric ones. Try to let the jobs the machine has to do determine your buying decision.
