Do you trim your neighbors bush

In honor of pats thread - Freak Neighbor

Just wanted to rant. My neighbors bushes have completely gone past our line and I kindly suggested that whenever she has a moment, she could feel free to come on over to ~our side~ and deal with all her shrubbery. She replies she has no time and advises me to feel free to cut it down myself......the thought of Clorox has crossed my mind for several years now.

This is the same neighbor that refuses to shovel her walkway, her sidewalk, etc during the winter . She will kindly let other neighbors do it or wait till her brother in law comes by and does it....and we're not talking about a fragile old lady here.

Just a memorial day rant. Pat... you're not alone here .....

I wouldn't trim the neighbor's bush... her daughter's ...

I guess catchy titles = catchy responses ;-)

I feel your pain. I would be warming up my chainsaw and walking out into the yard with a big grin.

Copper nails will kill certain species of trees. Some say that it's just a myth, but it does work. We killed a bunch of cottonwood trees behind our house with them. Cottonwoods + a pool don't mix.

The copper will kill the shrub (or tree). Personally, I would cut the shrubs down and go from there...

I believe it will kill the bush, no pun intended. My understanding is if you hammer a copper nail into a tree it will kill the tree.

trim it and throw everything in her yard

a bag of salt will also take care of the bush/tree.

i report people to the city if they don't shovel their sidewalks. around here it is a nice $109 fine. i bust my *** keeping my sidewalks and driveway clear in the winter...so they best be doing the same.
