        Cavs are lovely aren't they? Mine travel really well too which is great as it means we can take them with us to see the inlaws in Wales, and even the first time settled straight in for the night. They snoring (him very loudly) and burping (her) are pretty much the only down sides. Oh and the molting, lol

          Step over apple hedge - drive through that grumpy man or a raspberry/grapevine hedge trained up wires and posts. Well it's not a fence, is it?

            We have that rule too. I've got raspberries along one side, to stop the site rubbish blowing all onto my plot.
            Where there are gaps, I have chicken wire for my peas. Not for fencing officer, for peas.

            The bottom end of my plot is the 'road', and while my immediate neighbours are respectful, others have driven onto my end before now. I have planted sunflowers around my entire perimeter this year

              Are you allowed Raised Beds?. Bang a couple right on the border even if they are only 2' wide.

                Do a couple of posts with a wire between them to "train" the wild blackberries, the ones with those horrendous thorns on them that always seem to appear at this time of year, count as a fence? I do hope not, the blackberries on my plot (lots of them) "need" something to sprawl along.

                  Shortie in all of this everyone seems to be ignoring one point. IT IS YOUR PLOT. You have the tenancy, you have paid your rent, and the boundary should be respected.

                  I would suggest you sweetly ask the site steward to measure up your plot and fix the boundary with marker sticks. Then stick some raised beds made from deck planks or similar up to the boundary. With a pallet compost bin slap bang in the middle.

                  Alternatively plant blackberry bushes all the way along it, trained to wires just inside your plot boundary.

                  If you are having problems with people- whoever it is- coming onto your site, your site steward should be the first port of call. If nothing happens, write to the Committee with your grievance.
