Help needed to plant Hawthorn Hedge

Hi All
We've managed to get 200 hawthorn plants to fill in some of the gaps round the hedge. Hopefully this will (when they've grown!) give us better security and keep kids, foxes and rabbits (?) out.

Anyway ... Tom is planning on making a start in putting them in this weekend. Is anyone able to spare some time to help? Even an hour would be great. No experiance needed, but a spade would be handy!

He reckons that the top debris just needs scraping off and the plants just need spading in. He was looking to start on the gaps 1st and then work round the thin bits of the hedge. Later in the year (when the sap begins to flow) he's going to drill and poison the elderberry.

If you can help, either drop us a line on our e-mail address; get hold of one of the committee members; or give Tom a yell when you see him planting ...
