Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Choose a suitable location with adequate sunlight or shade, depending on your local climate. Ensure the ground is level.
- Installation: Mobilane's patented system makes planting easy. Dig a trench slightly wider than the steel frame. Place the screen in the trench, ensuring it's upright.
- Backfilling: Fill the trench with soil, ensuring the coconut fiber pot is covered. Water thoroughly.
- Support: While the screens are self-supporting, in windy areas, additional support might be necessary. This can be achieved with posts or anchors.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during the first few weeks after planting, until the hedge is established. Reduce watering in winter.
- Pruning: Trim the hedge to maintain the desired shape and size. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring.
Compatibility: The Hedera helix 'Woerner' is compatible with a wide range of soil types, but well-draining soil is preferred.
