These worms are food for frogs and salamanders.

These hedges add life to your property, especially if you have paved or concrete paths, forming live walls along the length of the passage. However, they will still thrive in shaded areas, so you can use them to partition forested parts of your property.

These hedges can act as a windbreak due to their sturdy structure. You can use them to protect your property and outdoor furniture from damage caused by extreme winds.
