We have a 6ft high hedge at the front of our house that the local
schoolkids and others seem to delight in throwing themselves and others
into, resulting in great holes in the thing. It's beginning to look
thoroughly miserable.

I've emailed the local headmaster but not yet had a response. No doubt
he'll be sympathetic but not sure he'll be able to do much to help. I'm
also slightly reluctant to become the bloke who grassed them up. I
don't want to become a target of something worse.

It looks like the best thing I can do is to spoil their fun in some
other way.

Puff a load of talc into the hedge.

They will assume they have been poisoned by antkiller or somesuch and may
also get Hell from their parent when they get home.
