Bramble problem

Lolli I think if the neighbours brambles are growing into my garden, its because he isn't a gardener at all and his garden is a right mess, so probably wouldn't give a st*ff if i poison his Brambles...

 

If it`s in your garden and you don`t want it, then it`s a weed. Alternatively if you wish to be pedantic. Cut the offending growth to the fence, but you HAVE to throw it back over the fence.:thumb:

 

Also, if the neighbours are cultivating the plant, they are going to make sure it doesn`t grow your side.:D

 

I would hope so David :thmb:

 

You are within your rights to cut or get rid off any over hanging branches to your property. AS for poison I am not sure, not come across a case of this nature in our courts. This is a civil matter.

 

Because I`m a greedy so and so, no one else gets my blackberries.

I seem to remember something in our local rag a long time ago about someone poisoning a neighbours bamboos ( must have used good stuff then!) and there being something about it. Can`t remember what though.

Good neighbours are treasure. It`s considerate to be aware of your neighbours not pedantic.

 

Very true. You never realise this until you have a bad one.

 

Totally agree. But good neighbours DO NOT allow weeds to grow next door. Kill `em off.

 

What the neighbours? That`s a bit harsh I reck`n. LOL

 

:lollol::lollol::lollol:

 

Its not something they are growing purposely, The bottom of their garden which backs on to mine has been covered with bark chippings and a swing frame been put up for the kids to play on. Their garden is mainly for the purpose of the kids and they cut everything down every year, wether your supposed to or not.
Quercus, This bramble is coming under my fence year in and year out. Wether or not they want it they should keep it under control if they dont want me interfering with it from MY side of the fence. 02

 

Knock on O2, I reckon they will more perfectly ok with you sorting it out from your side. Coz it`s bramble they won`t want it near their kids anyway. What I was trying to say is that speaking to the offending neighbour first-even if they are idiots and don`t care, sort of covers you in a way. I`m sure they don`t realise the trouble and when they do they will be perfectly reasonable-especially since you will know the solution-roundup!

The problem is worsened when the bramble is the issue today, then the ivy, then the clematis then the jasmine-all being poisoned by a neighbour who would rather poison first talk later.

 

I have a very funny story about the fate of a sumac in the next door garden to my parents house. My old man went over the fence when nextdoor were out and cut slots into the bark below ground level with an Axe before sticking in sodium clorate.

The sumac died albeit slowly and in the process suckered more profusely however the coveted opal plum on my parents side died farr quicker

As for the brambles Id just spray them but then I take after my father lol, the fact I only speak to one set of neibours bordering my own garden proves it !!!!!!

In my case Its car parking and cats weve fell out about though rather than trees!!

 

If it`s about your cats Paul-stuff `em. Your pusscats are much more important.

D`ya know what. I reckon if we lived next door to each other, I would probably not like you.

 

I bet we would get on!!! after all being keen gardeners neither of us would have brambles growing over!!!

What did it between us was when the silly woman next door left a cooked chicken outside in the garden to cool off and my tuffty cat tucked in...... she though I should pay for it lol!!!
