Golly, you could sell that story to the tabloids. What a bitch she must be!

and I am wanting to keep it out of the
neighbours' gardens. The last dog used to go through the hedge and shit
on their grass and it doesn't make for good relations.

I bought a 25m roll of welded plastic coated square mesh fence, 10 1.2 m
steel fence stakes and cut out the lower part of the hedge to tuck the
fence in in a tidy invisible fashion. So far so good. The mesh is not
particularly stiff. I could strengthen the top with a length of wire
tightened up. What about the bottom? I don't want the dog going under
the fence.

Do I need something like tent pegs to hold it down? or like big staples?
do they exist? I haven't found any. A length of 2x1 would work but how
do I secure it to the mesh? Bent nails?

Round here most people use chicken wire staked to or buried under the
ground.

be wary of wildlife tunnelling under with small dogs.. they can use rat
holes etc. to escape
