I have a 20 foot long privet hedge in my back garden,which i chopped right back to ground level about 18 months ago. Its now grown to around 4 foot,how can i kill it off without having to dig up all roots? it will have to be done manually as i don't have access in my back garden to bring in a mechanical digger.All solutions need to be pet friendly.
that's what I use for trees ...cut it as close to the ground as you can ... and hammer loads of copper nails in the top of the stump ... anywhere that supplies roofing materials 'should' have them.
