ᐅ What types of boundaries or fences are permitted? Is a bamboo hedge allowed?

Hi everyone!

Since we don’t want a fence and I have always wanted a bamboo hedge, I’m now in a bit of a tricky situation with my property.

The local authority requires us to implement one of the following three ecological measures:
A) Rainwater cistern
B) Solar system
C) Garden planting with native trees and shrubs

The development plan also states that we must plant two native fruit or deciduous trees.

Regarding boundaries, there is an additional rule: “Instead of fences, the planting of hedges up to a maximum height of 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) is allowed (lower reference point: road surface level of the public street traffic area/traffic area with special purpose designation at the street boundary line; upper reference point: top of the hedge), using native, site-appropriate deciduous woody plants.”

For the required measures, I would obviously choose option C), but there are no specified quantities, so for me, planting the two trees would already fulfill the requirement...

Is there any way to plant a bamboo hedge, for example on my property side, not directly at the boundary line?

Thanks in advance!

The sooner you plant them, the bigger you will see them grow.

We once lived in an apartment on the third floor with a balcony and a panoramic window in the bedroom. You could look directly into the treetops (with a long arm, you could even reach from the balcony). It was a wonderful sight with the squirrels. We definitely miss that. You experience that less in a single-family house; on the ground floor, you only see the trunk, not from above into the canopy.

I don’t see the problem: up to now, I have always tried to design a garden corner so that animals feel comfortable there. I always hope for hedgehogs, so there is leaf litter in the undergrowth, ground cover plants, leftover building materials like stone pipes and other piled stones, allowing animals to hibernate there.
My husband has a bird bath and birdhouses and enjoys seeing the birds use them. Nest building also happens in our garden.

In a way, I see maintaining our garden as a responsibility towards nature, and it’s a pity that not everyone shares this awareness.
Ideally, everyone would just leave everything as nature intended. Even easier would be not to build a house at all.

That’s nonsense.
Still, we can work with nature and support it.
Nature reclaims everything anyway.

I’m often surprised that fathers and mothers are careless with nature. It makes me wonder if their children are only supposed to learn about nearby nature at school? Hedgehogs, bees, and birds... dirt and leaves, woodlice and spiders, radishes and kohlrabi: the true school of life, how these things live and thrive, whether in or on mother earth.

But honestly, when it comes to diapers, nature can forget it.
I’m glad that they exist.
Besides, very few people are truly interested in nature; most only talk about protecting it. This is because in today’s consumer culture, it’s hard to find products that are compatible with nature, so you really can’t blame them.

So my mom experimented with cloth diapers at my place...
