How do I protect a hedge from the local kids?

Grow some bramble bushes inside the bush your trying to protect, and enjoy the benefits of rasberries/blackberries and protection for your bush. Just keep in under control But be aware that if anyone hurts themselves on your bramble, you could be held liable for their injuries. The sad state of Nanny Blairs England You may find that legal actions for personal injury go back a little further than New Labour: the Code of the celebrated Iraqi Hammurabi comes to mind, and that was nearly four thousand years ago. -- Mike. Where I live, we have Speight's of hedge hoppers (kids) and the local Police advised everyone at the local Residents Association meeting to plant very prickly bushes in their gardens. This way, if anyone injures themselves then it is their own faults, they should not have been there, and it is not against the law to plant these types of bushes. They also said that they would take no action if the kids complained. Different interpretations of the law. Our police force will:- Take action against you if you cause damage to someone, even if their being there is proven to be illegal. ie they scaled a six foot high wall into a yard and cut themselves on the sharp plough that was parked inside. If you are personally assaulted, they will take no action if you fought back and injured one of your attackers. We have been told to remove spiky plants from hedging which adjoins a public footpath. Also advised that it should not be near any access path to the property. YMMV |
