How do I protect a hedge from the local kids?
wrote in message ups.com... 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. Obviously I could plant something tougher and pricklier but this will take too long. It's tempting to wrap barbed wire round it but no doubt I'd end up getting sued. Looks like the best thing might be some sturdy posts and a horizontal railing or two to deter them, though logistically that won't be that easy as the hedge juts out a bit. Any other ideas? Thanks Will how about spraying something really foul smelling (but benign) on the hedge. Any lad going head long in to it will get covered in the smell. I cannot give you many suggestions as to what it may be put a very strong poop tea may do it. I brew disgusting liquid fertiliser which smells to buggery. It will also be good for the tree. Have a look around a hardware maybe or rent a skunk. rob |
