I had a morning attacking a "hedge" too. Not so much a "hedge" as the shrubs that I planted along the original boundary at the end of the garden (in 1982 when we moved here). Its mostly forsythia, fuchsia, cotoneaster and a pear tree. However, honeysuckle, brambles and ivy have grown through them and its impossible to untangle it all.
Decided to cut it all down (apart from the pear). The fuchsia and forsythia should regenerate - if not, I don't care!.
It will open up the garden a bit and stop the fuschia from getting tangled in the washing on the rotary line.
Have only cut down the shrubs on one side of the pear, so far. Have filled 2 garden waste bins and there's more waiting chopping up.
It was good to be able to work outside in the sun, for a change.
