Repurpose Bushes to Make Room for Food

When we bought this property, it was in reasonably good shape because someone had been working to keep it up. We live here differently than they did, and not all plants are where we need them. This boxwood is in our way, and it has to move. We want to plant corn on this end of the house. Boxwoods are shallow-rooted evergreen bushes with small leaves and a bad smell. They produce no food but are useful as a barrier plant when grown in a hedge which is a type of fencing created by growing bushes or shrubs tightly together in a line. While this boxwood is not a food producer it makes a fantastic hedge that prunes well and is well suited to creating a boundary.
