Excerpt from the Advice Column (Havenyt.dk)
"Can I save a privet hedge that is partially dying?
Answer:
Many gardeners are familiar with this picture. It is due to a combination of several factors:
Firstly, the hedge may consist of several different – but outwardly similar – varieties (...)
Secondly, parts of the hedge may be shaded for most of the day (...)
Thirdly, the weakening may be due to harsh pruning (...)
So, the remedy is partly to remove what is shading the hedge, partly to inspect the plants with pruning shears and remove all dead and diseased parts, and partly to keep the hedge closely trimmed for the next 2–3 years. This has saved my own hedge, which has had quite similar weaknesses, on several occasions."
The gardening expert's advice can actually be applied to create balance in your life - The dead privet hedge shows you how.
This is in fact not a gardening book, but a self-help book based on the third wave of cognitive behavioral therapy. It is rich in nourishment and frameworks of understanding, which help you weed out the relationships that hinder your growth.
The book is intented for you, who want to optimize your life.
