Sorry if this is a daft question.................but I'll ask it anyway.
My neighbour's hedge is the bane of my life. It's only about four feet high but I'm constantly battling with bloomin weeds growing out of it and when the gardener cuts it, I'm then raking up bits of hedge for ages and it's just a mess.
Now I get on great with my neighbour and I gently approached her feelings about her hedge - and she likes it!
Question is, if I was to erect some kind of panel fence (only to the height of the hedge, I'm not wanting to block her out or cause any trouble), is it likely to give my poor garden some protection from the hedge? I mean, would the hedge be forced to grow away from the fence so that it wouldn't need cut on my side?
