My neighbor has a fence that is completely on her property a foot off the property line. She is ADAMANT (history of OCD-nothing can be out of place) that nothing touch it--no grass, plants etc. which really puts a damper on how I want my yard to look, as I want tall flowers etc growing up against a fence.
The only option I know of is to run another fence a foot away from hers on our property and then make my raised flower beds. She now puts weed killer along the fence to stop the grass etc. and has nearly killed my beautiful butterfly bush. I know that the chemicals will leach into my flowers and kill them also.
If I make raised beds...how tall do you think they would need to be to try to keep the roots safe ---I was thinking 2 feet?? Would it be feasible to line the beds with plastic along "her" side?? Was thinking of something like this....
I'm at such a loss as to what to do.... I don't want a plain drab yard but the neighbor has really made it difficult for me...
Would love any ideas, suggestions etc......
