Box Hedging Borders

[Furries]

Am on a bit of a roll here, trying to plan getting the back garden sorted.

Has anyone created bedding borders with box hedging? If so, would love to see some photos and hear about any hints/tips/pitfalls etc.

Our box hedge was killed by box moth caterpillars too. Luckily it wasn’t a huge hedge and it’s been replaced by lavender which suits the space much better

As soon as I saw this thread my heart sank! I spent £150 on box hedging last year, started off well but then in the autumn noticed a few plants looking unhealthy. They were full of cobwebby material in the middle so I removed and used an organic spray. Winter comes around and no more damage sustained but that's probably because the little critters have moved on.

So I'm guessing that the same will most likely happen again this year...

If the caterpillars don't get them the box blight will. It's being assailed from both sides. I hate to be pessimistic but you need to be very watchful.
