Default Privett hedge.



What can I grow within a privett hedge (something spikey), to stop morons
throwing themselves into the hedge and damaging it.

Why are morons throwing themselves into your hedges?

Did the angel Moroni tell them to do it?

What I'm getting at is that there was an article in the national news (UK) a
while ago about a bloke who had a problem with morons (sent from St. Moroni
!!!) jumping in his hedge, until he grew a particular type of thorny creeper
within the hedge.

How about horse manure? Might think twice before throwing themselves in.

The "sport" is called hedge diving and generally requires high blood alcohol levels.

On the spikey subject, you want something that will rip clothing rather than impale morons...

Hmmm, when I was a lad it was a popular past-time on the walk home from the pub.

Hooly sounds good, only a complete idiot would throw themselves into a holly bush, they certainly wouldnt delibrately do it again.

Just hope they dont do what they did to mine and up root the plants, though I replanted it and it recovered nicely. (privet)
