Privet hedge issue
My well established privet hedge has started to lose some leaves and when you look closely there appears to be a light green lichen growing on it in patches. Will Jeyes fluid kill it off and not harm the privet at a certain concentration?

We've had quite a few reports recently of privet suffering from the effects of the hot dry summer If your hedge is nearly 50 years old (or more) it's probably a bit tired. Does it get a good feed and mulch each year? Did you give it several good soaks during the drought?
Clear out the base of your hedge so it's free from weeds, dead leaves etc ... give it a good soaking ... the ground is still quite dry below the top few inches ... and then mulch with organic matter. Give it a feed of Fish, Blood and Bone in the spring and stand well back
