I'm very new to gardening and have a low fence separating my garden and
my neighbours. I would like some bushes which would screen my garden.
I'm on a tight budget and can't afford fully grown plants of up to 6ft.
I need something more affordable which grows quickly. I'm south facing
have good drainage and live in the North East of England. Does anyone
have any ideas please?

muddy feet


I have a 6foot fence between my neighbours, but they have placed decking,
which is on large sleepers, so when they are on it they overlook our
fencing! My remedy is Buddleia. I have placed it about 3 feet apart, its
very fast growing, and although needs to be pruned, that's usually in March,
when you rant really outside, and now mine are well over six feet tall in
summertime. Pick the common variety, and you will soon have cheap
screening, and lots of butterflies!
