Perhaps I should have not asked about Leylandii, it seems it might be
less than perfect for the job.

I would like to plant some bushes around the garden instead of errecting
a fence. The idea is that I can introduce rasberries/blackberries etc
to grow on our side of the bushes?

I would like to spend as little cash as possible!

Can anyone recommend anything?

Raspberries and gooseberries are both thorny and fruit-bearing and like a
bit of air through them.

You could fill in the gaps with red, black and white currants, especially if
you could train them sideways along a "posts and wires" boundary line.

Also blueberries should do well (on the basis that I'm in East Anglia too
and mine are growing really well)

Stephen, come over to Clifford cross's auction in Wisbech. You will be able
to get everything you want very cheaply indeed. In fact I doubt you'll get
it cheaper anywhere else.
I bought my raspberry canes for around 30p each but since they require me
to prune etc I dug them out and planted black currants and red currants
instead . Got those for about 35p each too.
