Backyard Privacy Idea's?

[StonedBarra]

Some top ideas here thought i would just add i am currently using mulberry trees, tomatoes, corn & eggplant as screens.Mulberries can take straight poultry manure often. Lemongrass is ace for keeping nasties away n easy to crush leaves cut as mulch very strong aroma. Rosemary works well in cooler climes. cheers good luck with your grow

hi, there are a few shrubs that flower and smell somewhat like cannabis and they provide a great screen, they flower from early sept to early dec and could help , will get the name if you need it

Hiya major-excellent topic mate

 

I have been dropping acmena smithii (lillypilly) in appropriate locations around the yard w/attention to privacy/wind/solar access. They've only been in a month or so and have just settled and are starting to power up a bit-fast growing, psyllid(?) resistant and shape em if ya want in a few months. Right now I am sourcing some cheap 4-6 meter bamboo that isn't structurally invasive (some will be located around the fence perimeter) that looks decent and isn't too exxie.

 

'Nibbler's got me thinking about designing a bamboo greenhouse, so the bamboo must deliver a culm of around 20-40 mm and able to be harvested for my trellises and next yrs bamboo greenhouse!

 

Vitex for purple and calmness I've read. I have heard about the lavender and I love the stuff-I have not planted any yet though I can and have grown lemongrass and didn't even think about it disguising odor.

Wouldn't want that S'Easter blowing inappropriate aromas into the 2nd storey units next door ....waffling

 

Peace to yas. v

Hey Vinno , all excellent suggestions , and good thinking regarding the wind . i love bamboo and then to reuse it is awesome.

Nibbler has some great idea's ( must be the Tangerine Dream )

 

Hey Munchy , it smells like weed and it has a weed sounding name

Prob stay away from weed smelling tree's tho

 

Thanks

Honestly if privacy is that much of a concern, just grow elsewhere. it will save u from the worrying and paranoia !

 

Given the content and title of the thread, that`s the stupidest thing I`ve heard in a while...

Something else fish emulsion if you can handle it, if you use it as a foliar spray in the garden can be very strong like knock you down beware. "Tropigrow fish emulsion" fruit trees love it.
