I bet this has been asked before, and apologise in advance (re: privet hedging)

Looks like taking the cuttings would be the same way as for (eg) fuchsias, but how many per yard is a good number?
The hedge is going to be twelve feet long.
Many thanks for help!

I would say 10 to 12 inch spacing, but that's a guess

Thankyou so much,   AnniD - just wanted backup here
