We decided to remove the wild row of miscellaneous mess growing through our back fence and threatening the overhead power lines. There are so many things to take into account! First, the neighbor can’t maintain his side of the fence row, and we can’t access it to do it for him. Any spot that’s unkempt grows poison ivy, so the fence row on our side is a hazard to us in spots that we keep fighting. The birds LOVE the fence row, so we need to grow an alternative before removing it. We want to use native plants. We’re also looking around at what was already on our acre and maybe use what we’ve noticed that the birds love, even if they aren’t native, but ONLY if they won’t be aggressive and spread through the neighborhood. We selected where to make a new row of plants away from the power lines that we could maintain all the way around, got some natives from a reputable source, planted them during this year’s wet and cool spring, got hit with over six weeks of high heat and no rain… poor things! They’re still alive but looking terrible. Anyway, long rant just to say there are so many decisions to make concerning the simple chore of cleaning up the back fence!🙄

I feel your struggles. I have persistently trying to clean up a mess that borders my yard. It is very difficult when the neighbors do nothing. I am in my third case of poison ivy rash right now.

Wow! Great video! I have no lawn anywhere on my property. The front yard is especially colorful filled with roses, irises, ground-cover, day lilies; the flowers are constantly blooming - so there’s always color, plus there shrubs, a nectarine, fig, lime, quince, & 2 pomegranate trees in my front-yard. In my backyard, I have roses, perennials, irises, & daisies, to name a few, plus 20+ fruit trees. My maintenance is minimal, but pruning is needed & the fruit tree’s definitely need minimal to major pruning annually!

This is so good it's worth two viewings! I went with wax myrtles across the back of the property because they were free, and they did well for about eight years, but now half have died -- not sure why. They are natives, at least, and grew nicely, but are not sufficient now to block out my neighbors. Thank you so much for all the ideas and reassurance!

@laliday Жыл бұрын
I have the same problem. The power and cable companies tend to cut everything below the lines without regard for trees. My plan is to move the trees inward a few feet so that they are not directly below the cable lines. Using trees that don't grow beyond 12-15" should help too. Trimming them when necessary. I also love how she recommends a mix of trees. Some are very narrow like arborvitae so that ultimately can help maintain their tall look without much trimming. I'm hoping that moving everything 4' away from below the line can minimize interference of the cable/power companies.

I heard good things about the Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon by Proven Winners. It’s like other Rose of Sharons, but only gets 2 to 3 feet wide but 10 to 15 feet tall. Ideal for small yards with plenty of sun.

I like your idea of planting a variety of plants. I’m doing research now on evergreen flowering shrubs. There are so many beautiful wonderful plants out there. I lost 7 big old trees in the Camp Fire in Paradise Ca. Only 1 tree is coming back from the roots, it’s a native Black Oak.

Great content especially for someone like me that is just learning about gardening. I do have a question about sheet mulching. I have been accumulating brown cardboard boxes with the intention of using it with mulch. It has been very rainy here this Spring so the garden projects I have planned are going very slow and in the mean time I am running out of space to store the cardboard. There is an area of my yard that I will be tackling next year that is always a weedy problem. Since I will not be ready to order any mulch until I finish my current projects, can I just lay the cardboard down over this weedy area with a few rocks on top to hold it down without mulch on top and then sometime in a few months put mulch on top of the cardboard. Thanks for the help GD
@esscee2520 Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can. Worms might nibble away at the bottom layer of card, but other than you donating some carbon to the soil in that area instead of your planned area, all good. Useful tip I got at a permaculture course this year was to put my cardboard boxes outside on the ground in the rain before I cover them in mulch and the tape is much easier to remove once the card is wet from the rain. It has rained virtually non-stop here in the Waikato NZ for the last 18 months, so it has been a great tip.

Conifers are not my favorite plants. They remind me of the cedar Christmas trees that certain members of my family used when I was growing up. Also, for me I don't even really need the privacy as I love being able to talk to my neighbors and they talk to me whenever I'm outside. What privacy I needed is created by my privacy fence. That being said, when I installed my fencing, I decided to use the one neighbor, who already had fencing, as my 4th side. Planting on that side of the back yard is to hide the hideous wood privacy fence. (I went with a wood tone vinyl). While I love this neighbor, like most folks around here with wood privacy fences, it's not taken care of, so it's hideous. Except for 3 plants, everything else that I've planted along the fence will be in the 4 - 6 ft range. The 3 plants that will be over 6 ft were planted because I liked the plants and not for privacy. I've used a mix of deciduous and ever green shrubs.

Hi there! This is a whole masterclass, but my quick advice is to keep it simple, neaten up the edges (anywhere two materials interact, like lawn and mulch), properly prune any messy-looking plants, apply some mulch, and maybe plant some affordable flowering annual plants (depending on the timing). This blog post is not an exact fit (more focused on someone with a new yard hoping to clean things up), but I do talk about some of these tips in more detail: www.gardenprojectacademy.com/how-to-quickly-clean-up-a-messy-landscape/ Hope this helps!! Good luck! 💕🌱
