Plants to mask smell from next doors garden

My back garden is north facing, on my left my neighbour piles dog feces in bags and buckets and in the spring and summer it really starts to smell. It knocks me sick sometimes. My kitchen window is at the back of my house and so on a warm day when i open the window the smell comes in
They do move it maybe once or twice a year.
Anyway.
What i can i grow next to or on the fence between us that could mask the smell? Is it possible? When council is involved they move it but just let it pile up all over again.
Im also looking for a fragrant plant to hang outside my kitchen window? I currently have thyme, oregano, parsley, mint and coriander growing on my windowsill which doesnt help much.

 

how sad to hear ... poor dogs having to live in that mess as well let alone you

 

I think the trouble would be that any plant's fragrance wouldn't be sufficiently strong and that the flowering period would be too brief. I would demand better action from the council, the fact that you have to endure such a vile smell for so long is frankly just unacceptable, @Billi!

Thank you, i thought that would be the case but was worth asking. i just hate to be "that person" that complains and complains
I will get back in touch with the council about it.

 

Gross neighbours! Perhaps a Honeysuckle by your window or by the fence between you?

 

I think you need to contact the environmental health department and get them to see it from your side of the fence, I know it's not going to do anything for neighbour relations but it's not healthy to have that kind of stuff hanging around all the time.
I would imagine that the flies it attracts apart from the smell is not something you should have to put up with.

 

If me I would email the head of the Local Authority , your local MP AND speak to RSPCA. you have nothing to lose if it has happened before ... I know some people have animals and things change and they may not be able to look after as they did in the past but to cause you upset and how you live is not right that it should effect you ...

Honeysuckle or Jasmine would both be good options IMO, but then even when in flower you don't get much fragrance from them on cloudier, cooler days from what I remember, they need strong sun to get the volatile oils going I think. I'd say if it's affecting your quality of life to the point where you start even considering that sort of thing, then you're entitled to expect more efficient action. I'd tell them that I really don't want things to escalate with my neighbour but the smell is oppressive and intolerable and I expect a stronger display of authority from the council!

I sugget thistles and nettles (brambles, pasperries and wild rose seeds work as well). The pricklier, the better.
Not for your own garden of course, but that piece of land where your neighbor drops all his stuff
