Default How to be an irritating neighbour.

I knew a chap years ago who was fed up with lorries/vans cars coming down
a
narrow lane and taking out the corner of his hedge, & then wall. His
solution was to obtain a 12' length of railway rail which he sank 8 feet
into the ground (imbedded in a copious quantity of concrete). He then

faced
the iron rail with some hardwood so as it give it the appearance of a

post.
Any vehicle that subsequently hit the "post" then came off a lot worse.
The point here is that to stop someone knocking over your plants put
something down that will damage their vehicles. If the railway line is not

a
suitable solution then some very large boulders should do the trick. Or a
ditch.


Or, plant a metal spike where the Hebe is, hidden amongst the foliage. I
think the tractor tyres would come of worse!
