We SAVED A Declining OLD HEDGE, Satisfying Hedge Renovation

This old overgrown evergreen box honeysuckle (Lonicera nitida) formal hedge has been through a couple of major hedge renovations in the last few years, to try and revitalise it, after it was starting to struggle. We trimmed the sides off to start with, then last year we gave the top a hedge reduction, because of dieback and poor growth.
Now back to it this year and its doing amazing, its almost fully recovered, it has a lot of healthy green growth, which is a great sign. It was probably a bit overgrown for hedge trimming, at the time, but we get it all neatened up.
No hard pruning on this backyard hedge this year, so there are still a few areas which need work. This Formal hedge should thicken up nicely with regular trimming throughout the year.
Using a single sided and double sided battery hedge trimmer for this work.

[@nyqer6636]

Very satisfying watch. Are your edges always square??

[@RJLgardens]

Thanks. No don't always do square, depends on the garden and hedge requirements.

[@foutchiedoutchie9978]

Nice

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers 👍

[@mrmeaty5619]

awesome videos man, always enjoy watching these. One thing though is would be good to see you get a better camera and set a better setting for outdoors so things are over exposed. some post exposure and editing will help alot just with being able to see everything more clearly :)

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers mate, yeh i only had my phone on me, always forget to bring my gopro. This is still just a hobby for me, and i'm still a novice with filming and editing 😅. The file size with the gopro pisses me off so i dont use it as often as i should.

[@saintetienne755]

Looks like Lonicera nitida

[@RJLgardens]

Certainly is

[@garryclarke7695]

Outstanding job. How long did it take in real time?

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers, not really sure with filming and messing around, prob an 1hrs job without the faffing 😅

[@bitteroldman2714]

Maybe after you get more practice. 😉😂 Great job!

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers, I havent got it perfect just yet.

Hello. How about a video about what the different Wolf garten tools are for and how to use them correctly?

[@RJLgardens]

I would have to start buying them all 😅. I don't own any currently. I have dedicated tools instead.

[@olivia1uk]

@@RJLgardens ok well we're still like to on how to use the tools you use.

[@johanvanderwijk]

Why are you using two different Makita’s? I see one has an attachment for catching the trimmings but the other one doesn’t.

[@RJLgardens]

The single sided one only cuts one way, the hedge gets combed the same way, so sometimes you need to cut against it to stand it back up. so used a double sided. 👍

[@melenelewis2955]

I need a trimmer like you use .....my privet hedge is 6 ft high and in decline qnd we need to do something drastic to save it ....please would you tell me the name of the trimmer you use ... I qm in johannesburg south africa .....inlove watching you work ...thanks for the videos
