I planted my new laurel hedge last Sat. My garden centre said Laurel should thrive in my clay soil – is this true, is there anything I can do in the way of feeding looking after it to make sure it does thrive? I put a shovel of compost in with each plant. Also, is there anything I can do – to strenghten the plants in preperation for this coming winter? Cover the base with grass trimmings etc?

Laurel grows in any soil tht is not soggy wet in winter. You can give some general fertiliser or tree and shrub fertilizer, and keep a margin of at least 40cm clear of weeds on each side. No grass mowings as they bring weeds.
