Re: I need help!

The weeds just climb over and under and pop up in my shrubbery!
I used some of the gel weed killer but that's rubbish!

You need someone to dig down and make some kind of barrier to stop the roots coming through and you also need height.

I guess the ex husbands are totally useless so could you have a Steampunk gardening party?

A Leylandii hedge?

Seriously, what can we do to help?

First there has to be some kind of master plan.

Are there other OFF members living near Tessa? Many of us have time on our hands which could be used productively.

Re: I need help!

The thing to do is to climb over the fence and clear the weeds that are encroaching into your garden after telling your neighbour, in writing, what you intend to do if he fails to address the problem.

Re: I need help!

Climbing the fence isn't possible!
Good grief! I'd need rescuing.
That's good advice Longdogs, I think I'll email the council with photos and see what happens.

Re: I need help!

I just wanted sympathy!

There are two garden contractors in our road, trouble is they're not only very expensive, they don't know a plant from a weed!

I put some weed suppressant fabric along the wire fence but this doesn't help.

I really need to put a wooden fence up.

So, as I can't afford it, I'm asking for donations from my chums.
Please send a few nails, screws, planks of wood, men with hammers etc. to:
Tess
"Cloud"
Cuckoo Land,
Great Expectations,
Land of The Swamp People
TIA XXX

I've heard these crowd funding things work wonders!

Sounds as they is an expectation of a lot of banging and screwing going to happen in your place
