Privet hedge


Tessaw

Recommended Posts

Privets often look messy and patchy when 'trimmed', my advice is leave it bushy 'al la Francais' or cut the whole thing down (after checking for nests, etc) - cutting back to the wood-stubble is untidy and can cause a rash.

A nicely trimmed Privet out front is a joy to behold. Nothing too overgrown, fighting your way through an overly bushy privet is not fun and you can end up covered in the bugs that can hide within.


I object to uncontrolled ivy under the eaves, such things are unsightly and simply unnescessary in the 21st Century.

Teesaw hangs up her Forumite white coat, makes an appointment at Foxtons to go buy in West Dulwich where the Forum is a lot more straightforward and where lunacy rates per square mile are far lower than in neighbouring ED.


Can a hedge ever be a bush and vice versa? Hmmmmm, puzzle.

A light trim from time to time will definitely help improve the overall appearance. It won't take you too long (you can just do it when you have a few moments in the evening or at weekends) and chances are if you don't have the right tool for the job you can probably borrow something from a neighbour. It can be a tricky job but just go around carefully and remember - you can always cut more off so don't go 'too short' straight away. In any case, if you make a mistake, it will grown back in a fairly short space of time so try not to worry about it.


Makes your cock look slightly larger too.

She's a bit of a "one" is our Tessaw

Here's a post on another section of the forum.


I think she want her front bush trimmed first, then down to the heavy business I think.

Weekend help labourer in the Garden new

A taut bodied helping hand/labourer needed to assist with painting fence panels re-staining decking some heavy lifting as established plant pots need moving. Might suit a mature school or collage student needing to earn extra cash.


* not sure what a collage student is? but hey, she's got something in mind i'm sure

    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
    • Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
    • Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
