Hi all,
We have finally found another house, after the first fell through. I don't want to tempt fate... but I have my first question
The bulk of the garden is at the front of the house, and as the front is south facing this is where I intend to put my veg patch. However, its currently rather open and public and I want some privacy (as well as making sure no one nicks my prize toms
).
As its the front garden and on a road, we can't build a fence higher than a metre - so I'm thinking of some kind of hedge instead. I don't want anything too high as it will block the sun, maybe something that is easy to maintain at about 6ft and width wise wont take up half the garden!
I was thinking about bamboo because then I could utilise the canes - but would this be too much of a thug? Would it provide enough cover? Would it be a nightmare to maintain?
Thanks in advance!
p.s. mods wasnt sure where to put this - please move if its in the wrong place!
