Any advise on deterring
teenagers welcome.


A good barb wire fence?


If you have access to a large rambling rose such as rambling Rector,

wedding
day, Alberic Barbier etc etc Cut some stems up and push the 1' long

hardwood
cuttings into the ground every 6" or so (you may have to loosen the soil

to
get them in) along the boundary within a year it will make it very painful
to get in!


Sorry for piggybacking.

I always suggest a nice gorse hedge. When I was a young troublemaker (oh
so long ago) nothing deterred like a gorse hedge. Vicious plant to try and
get through.

Plus, when it's in flower it chucks out loads of pollen, with the rise of
allergies and hayfever in the young this is a bonus detrrent. It's hard to
look tough in front of your mates when your nose and eyes are streaming and
you have to suck on an inhaler.
