Hello folks, I hope you don't mind me dropping in to say hello & I really hope you can help with my hedge problem?
I am a keen gardener however my knowledge of plants etc is extremely limited sorry. I planted 145 box hedge plants around three months ago & I seem to have a problem with them. The plants were around 8" in height when planted & after & initial trim they are now around 9"-10" in height & starting to fill out nicely. Unfortunately quite a lot of the leaves appear to be becoming yellow & brown & they appear very dry or even burned. The soil is very well drained (I think) & because of the hot weather I have been giving them a good watering every other day.
I have some very good pictures of some of the plants but I have no idea how to attach them onto this post so if anyone could please help I will send you the pictures for you to have a look at.
Many many thanks in anticipation folks & I hope someone can please help.
Regards. Glenn

Hi & thanks for your reply.
I'm in Sunderland, England but please don't apologize.
The weather over the last few weeks has been extremely wet, constant heavy rain for days at a time however when the picture was taken we were having an extremely dry & very hot & sunny spell (27c), that's quite hot for this part of the country. The plants are quite exposed & in full sun.
I planted them in early May & the soil is well drained but because of the hot & humid weather I did keep them well watered initially & I only water them once a week now, assuming there has been no rainfall.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.
