    a few years back....... no... not 40, about 6!, I remember them laying the hedges on the M1 near Luton. They must have done about 4miles on each side with overgrown hawthorn.... looked fantastic after it was done. It was February, March rime so perhaps theHighways Dept had some money left over in their budget as it must have cost a fortune. Thinking about it, might have been a waste of time as the M1's been widened there and its all gone...... typical government department!

    I got this dvd on ebay a year or two ago. It gives you a good idea of the basics, I don't think it's a high budget affair though!
