    Prance around with your shirt off, I'm sure your neighbor will quickly plant new trees

    We did the bamboo thing. It works if you buy the right type / size and plant in a container or with a liner. We dug down about 3 feet. lined the ditch with a thick liner, added dirt and bamboo. 7 years now. No problem. Total privacy.

    But note, bamboos are very different, grow at different rates and size, and can be expensive. There is a bamboo guy on Scholls - way out almost to Roy Rogers rd. They really know their stuff, but it's pricy.

    You are looking at this the wrong way. You should be happy about this, now there won't be as long of a line for Mrs HCP. More time for you.

    I think it's obvious to everyone but HCP that the neighbor cut down the trees to get a better unobstructed view of Mrs. HCP sunbathing

    My next door neighbor was Invaded by Bamboo. He told me it is relentless and survives anything. The only problem is control. When they are growing, they present foot impalement for pets, children. and inebriated humans. You will have to dig a perimeter trench. It's worth a Utube look because they stay.

    Have you seen an inebriated child? I thought the noun "human" would create some sparkle to the sentence..

    My brother in law has an exotic tree & shrub nursery in Sandy and he told me he sold over a million dollars in bamboo last year. I couldn't believe it. He himself won't have it his house because of the mess but there is definitely market for it.

    I'm pulling your leg as hard as I can.

    Edit: But please, oh please don't confuse me with Sly who'll hump your leg.

    Had my first drunk experience when I was about 14. Went camping with a man my mom knew. Seemed like a nice guy but the trip really was for his nephew's 16th birthday party. He and I got drunk for the first time. My mom was royally pissed when she somehow found out. Maybe it was when I staggered in the front door on the way home from my camping trip. Never drank again until just before I turned 18. After that it was kitty bar the door. Now, according to my doctors I should drink very very little alcohol. Live sucks and then you die.

    Friend of mine saw this in his neighborhood and sent me this pic. I think this is the style we want to go with. He said these people planted this last year. Clumping, non wandering.
