greene said:The three things I would eradicate from my landscaping are :
1 - my next door neighbor
2 - his lawn mower
3 - his leaf blower

1 - because he trespasses Grumbling into my landscaping sometimes 25 feet or more.
2 - because he uses his lawnmower Angry to cut down anything in my yard that is green but is not recognizable as grass.
3 - his leaf blower because he just never stops, like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps blowing and blowing...


Could you put a small border fence (you know, the 18in high type) just inside your property line? That might help him stay out of your yard. Group hug

18" tall white metal border fence. Tried that, he said, "Uh, excuse me, but I just broke your fence."
(It is 3:42 in the morning; I wasn't asleep anyway, but I notice that my other neighbor's rooster seems to think it is morning.) Hilarious!

I agree

Otherwise, he'd mow it down. Hilarious!

But seriously -- what about a low hedge with rebar interspersed? **insert evil grin emoticon here**

Have you had a discussion with neighbor about where he thinks the property line is versus where you think it is?

@bonehead - the police were called; he lied and said he didn't live there. Report is on file.

@Virginia rose - electric fence...hmmm...there's a thought.

@Crittergarden - I did plant a hedge of azaleas, all in a lovely pink shade and of course he...
altogether now!!...mowed them down.

@Meadowyck (and why haven't I noticed such a cool name before) - you are right, it is time to move. Then why hasn't he left yet?

Thanks for allowing me to blow off some steam here. Grumbling Angry Glare Big Grin Okay, I feel better now, see!

Let's not talk about Mr Wonderful anymore. Let's get serious before we get tossed into the sandbox. Okay?

Lots of good lists but I want to add:

Red Sorrell!

It's worse than Bermuda grass because the roots break off and you can't get rid of it then.

Fire Ants!!!

@greene You are on topic. You said you wanted to eradicate your neighbor. LOL. I think you used up all three on him though, what a joke. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
Green Grin!
@abhege, what does your red sorrell look like. I goggled it and saw a lot of different plants and also a picture of a donkey. Hilarious!
