And these trees just magically appeared full grown and in your way?

Verily, an evil deed committed does not immediately bear fruit, just
as milk curdles not at once; smouldering, it follows the fool like
fire covered with ashes.

No I'm living with my mother now. Whos to old to take care of the
garden. I thought I might produce vegatables next year. Unfortunatly
this year everything appears to have died where those trees are.
Luckily my solution is this. I shall plant them on the other side
where the is no overgrowth. That way not damaging the trees. Still is
unfortunate that those trees are so barricaded against the fence that
the whole side of the fence is starting break under the pressure.

If your neighbors trees are damaging your fence, you can make them pay
for fence repairs.

And, raised garden beds, say 24" deep, would probably solve your
problem. I like raised beds anyway. They tend to use less water and be
easier to keep properly fertilized.

They just produce healther food plants.

I can attest to that, the soil level with my conifer's dripline is
very dry. So I water it a lot and the garlic seems ok. We'll see how
the jalapenos do this summer.

I won't get into the legal issues involved in consciously damaging or
killing a tree located on another's property - they differ regionally and
can be significant. Deal with what you have - that is one of the challenges
of good gardening. Plant the veggies or whatever in an area well away from
the root system. Raised beds may work well.


Yeah, I saw in a book they did that by putting a layer down that kept
the roots out and then raised the soil over it. Can't remember the
details though. It was an Aussie book on soil.

My neighbour has giant NZ flax as a fence break and they are a pain
in the neck. For too big for suburbia and roots everywhere - just by
the best bit of garden soil there was.

I got so peeved with 2 pines on my own yard killing all the other
trees that I had them removed. The needles release toxins, I
understand.

I'd love to have a big tree in my neighbourhood. If that corner of
your yard is unused, consider a raised deck with a barbeque, patio
furnitures and a hammock. Imagine eating fruit ices in summer shaded
by conifers. But, mend the fence first. What climate zone are you
in?
