The hedge is now gappy at the bottom as it hasnt been pruned well. Can I plant something underneath it to fill the gap between the ground and the bottom of the hedge (approx 60cm)? Suggestions? Or can it be tempted to grow to the ground again with pruning? Thanks for your ideas Re: Filling gaps in an old hedge - ideas? 2Sep 14, 2009 6:19 pm I doubt you'll get to reshoot easily.
