Countryside Stewardship BN11 Hedging Pack with Protection
King and Co’s Countryside Stewardship BN11 hedging packs with protection are available from as little as £8.09 per metre. The grant scheme awards £22.97 per metre, which means there is plenty of room (and incentive) to plant!
Arable farmers can boost the pollinators and beneficial predators around the field perimeter. Livestock farmers can create shade, shelter and a natural boundary. Environmentally, new hedges can reduce flood risk by increasing drainage as well as capturing and storing carbon.
The Countryside Stewardship scheme requires six plants, which are native to the UK, to be planted per metre. King and Co’s Countryside Stewardship BN11 hedging pack with protection meets all farming hedging grants criteria. This pack contains 60cm spiral rabbit guards and 90cm bamboo canes to protect the plants.
Biodegradable guards are also available, just ask!

AFTER CARE / PLANT MAINTENANCE
How to plant your Bare Root hedging pack
1 – If you don’t intend to set the hedge immediately upon arrival, store the plants in a cool, frost free shed or garage.
2 – When planting out, do not remove the hedging plants from the box or bag. Exposure to sun or drying winds may lead to root desiccation and eventual failure.
3 – Do not dig huge planting pits that require laborious backfilling. If the soil is reasonably good, use the notch planting technique. Push your spade 4-6” into the ground,open up a wide slit and place the root in at the nursery soil mark.
4 – Be sure to ‘heel in’ very tight. This is most important to ensure good root/soil contact. After heeling in, you should have to tug the plant quite hard to remove it.
5 – After completion of planting, mulch the hedge with either; plastic, woodchips or similar to trap moisture in, and prevent growth of weed competition.
