Am I right in thinking it's about 3m long? If so, my first thought would be to dig out the soil 60cm wide and 30cm deep and replace it with a topsoil/compost mix, easily obtained from a topsoil supplier, costing approx £80 for the ton bag you would need. That way you could grow whatever you like. The existing poor soil is probably quite depleted of nutrients.

@ColinTheBald Thanks, good plan. @KatBalou'sPhone Yew've given me something to consider.

My box hedge in my front garden is utterly fucked after two years of caterpillar infestation so is Ilex crenata (Japanese Holly) my best option or is there something better? It's Bagshot Sand and next to the block paved drive so quite hostile.
