Hello
Maybe someone can help.
My yard is right on the road, its a big yard with a huge tree in it, the other sides are fields. Ive long wanted to plant or do something to stop passing traffic being able to stare at me when Im out there - currently there is low iron fencing. My limitations are that its rented so I cant really change too much or pull out the fence, and it must look 'tidy' and of course the cost. The other problem is that theres an awful lot of mixed stones and rubbley stuff under the ground, I think from when it was a working farm, which Ive had trouble digging - and the large tree of course. I previously tried to plant leylandii but they are not really doing much, probably the ground. I also have to be careful because the hedgecutters keep chopping my other garden hedge every year, so I need something that screams 'dont cut me' at them too.
Any ideas? My only idea that might work is Buddleia or expensive trellis.

Could you plant something in pots so that if you do move you can take them with you? You also don't have to worry about the quality of the soil then either0
