That reminds me, I only know a couple with a high hedge enclosure. They live in the countryside and come from there as well.

I'm just teasing you a little. And don't feel the need to justify yourselves... if you want a fence, build a fence; if not, then don't. Because it's still a free country, despite fff.

And about the thuja, do you happen to have a cemetery on your street? Terrible plant.

You’ll get there too, where the thuja thrives, just wait a little while... in the end, the thuja will get all of us.

Child runs freely without a fence but there is a section of wall.
The fence will be installed on the retaining wall. We need a depth of 3 m (10 feet).

No. I would rather be cremated and then buried in the meadow under the lime tree at the cemetery.

Fences are for cowards. Brave Vikings live without fences—talk about freedom.

We wouldn’t have a fence if the dog didn’t tend to chase after things. So we defined a small enclosed area. That way, the old guy can at least run around a bit in front of the house and be off-leash. We can open the patio doors without worrying that the furry friend will run off.

Our fence has been sitting in the garage since April. First the birds were nesting, then it was too hot, then we created a new garden section, now it’s too muddy and inaccessible. Soon the birds will be nesting again.

@hampshire looks great. I only know permaculture raised beds in round shapes, with compost in the middle and stones on the outside.

We’re not fundamentalists. For us, it’s about the joy and challenge of growing good food without using chemicals or depleting the soil. Stone lasts longer than untreated wood. Those 3cm (1 inch) thick beams will hold up for a few years. The compost is placed a bit farther from the house (logistically less convenient but better in terms of odor). We don’t compost organic kitchen waste in the garden; that goes into Bokashi bins where it ferments with Effective Microorganisms (EM).

We already had tasty vegetables growing at our terraced house. We got hooked years ago through the Ackerhelden, where we learned a lot and participated for two years.
