    Neighbour dispute - update....

    Well, all been quiet for a while, other than the usual scuttling around from Mrs neighbour when she comes out to the driveway to find me already there washing my car, or something like that.

    Noticed a load of huge bamboo plants in the plastic pots they come with over the last couple of days, even taller than the 5 foot tall red cedar hedge that is starting to take shape nicely.

    These things are around 4-5 metres tall, and right by the red cedar hedge that is starting to take good shape, and needing all the sun it can get.

    Not planted, just plonked at the side of the fence (the red cedar hedge is by the fence on my side).

    When breezy the plants fall over, so she comes scuttling outside to pick them up again before darting back inside.

    About to see how effective super strong weedkiller really is

    Careful there Wilmslow, it kills weeds.

      Try a gallon of engine oil. 5 gallons will kill even a large tree.

        Or 5 tonnes of chemical fertiliser. That will take out a Norwegian government building.

        You know what they say about assumptions!

              Liking the idea of greasing up the bamboo tree, but these are more screening and thin stalked as opposed to wide tree trunks.

              Needing something more undetectable than Castrol GTX swimming about the top of the tubs they are planted in.

              Eg, is there a known weedkiller that will work from roots level hence I could just slug it in the pots with a watering can, as opposed to spraying the darned things which is how most weedkillers work?

              Any ideas??

                I'm sure you are.

                  Try Domestos. Make sure you "water" them when it is dark and raining so that you are not seen and it helps to get the bleach straight to the roots
