AIBU. Public flogging for garden taste misdemeanors

Paddyann, just an idea but one I know works. If you have the leylandii cut down to about 12 feet high you could plant ivy to grow up the bare poles of them . It stays 12 feet high and makes a good refuge for birds and bats, and makes a good privacy screen. Easy to trim too.

thanks Alexa but I just want it gone ,the lowest estimate is over £4000 so I may wait until the drainage is sorted as thats more urgent

My dh cut each tree off at ground level and took them to the dump one at a time hanging out of the back of his car. (Then had the car valeted)

He then worked on each stump at his leisure.

Some local fake grass soon became covered in (real) moss and was taken up again the next year - what a waste!

I have read this thread with increasing dismay.

I hope I can add my little bit before I am ostracized*notanan*. We have hard landscaping, with proper drainage, both front and back (2 patios at the back!) bamboo wind chimes, a water feature and about 12 terracotta worms with hats on.

All very tasteful!

Oh Kittylester! My concrete gnome would not tolerate worms with hats.

Where can I buy a worm with a hat on ? I want one too !

I suppose the garden being tasteful would depend on the type of hat worn by the worms?
A 'Westham' bobble hat? No!
However, a nice bowler..

These are 'where's Wally' bobble hats. The children love trying to find them. We do have some with Santa hats and beards but it would be a bit tasteless to get them out before Decembet!

Of course.

That would be just gaudy.

I want those cricketers that turned up on another thread.

They were real ones Blinko, they visited Soops kitchen and the Argy Bargy Bar, you can be sure we gave them a hearty welcome as they had heard of our legendary hospitality.
