Bad neighbor plant
Comments (3)It's a Philodendron - bipinnatifidum or selloum, they are very close and its a bit hard to tell. The link below will provide some information on its growth, the aerial and subterranean roots. The only real way is to put down a barrier to stop the roots invading your yard. You may need to speak to your neighbour (can you?) perhaps he/she can re-start the plant somewhere else. It's hardly beautiful any longer. But they require some degree of man-power to shift. Here is a link that might be useful: philo roots...See Morerant: bad neighbors
Comments (17)A few years ago the neighbor behind me decided to put in a garden so he trimmed my trees to give it more sun. I let that pass and even picked up the limbs and burned them. I have two storage sheds and they are several feet from my property line so I need to get behind them and weed-eat, etc. He had moved broken concrete pieces from his new garden spot and stacked it on my property along with a landscape timber, a utility pole, and about a dozen metal fence posts. I had a broken foot that summer and couldn't do much. The next spring, I moved all of the post back to his yard, and used the landscape timber and the pole to mark off the property line. The timber kind of sticks up since it was on top of the concrete he moved, but at least he got the idea. Only my veggie garden is fenced, but since you can clearly see the back of that fence from his property, I would have thought he would have realized that if the fence extended further over, it would include his "trash dump area". I will probably put up a fence in that area, just to mark the property line....and maybe I should grow a heavy vine on it just for kicks. LOL...See Morebad bad earwigs!!!!
Comments (13)well now, i hpe i dont' have the problems like this as i did last year. go over your yard and try to id any areas that may be attracting them. i found them stuck like sardines in a utility poles huge crevice, dh's deer target, moss covered fence, piles of bird poop on the fence, etc etc etc. my best defense was to go out every night with a flashlight. i either collected them in a pitcher of soapy water, or was armed with a spray bottle of soapy water, spraying them directly. another item i purchased from planet natural also helped. i am positive it isn't totally organic but,hey, they sell it, and iunderstand it has to be ingested to work. it is mainly for grasshoppers, but these european earwigs eat everything, including greens and grains! i had heard many people say how highly unusual this is, but it isn't for europeans. anyway, what i used, and it is always your choice, is ecobran. i will post the link if you are interested. i had a very long post on this last year. perhaps you may hve found it. good luck!...See MoreBad Neighbor vent
Comments (53)Salt, I don’t get your point. We only met one neighbor so far. And I only said he was strange, I didn’t say he had problems at all. Where did you get that all my neighbors had problems? I haven’t met them yet. Most of neighbors have a huge light on a tall pole. I went with solar lights for the patios and decks it’s just easier and faster to have some extra lights. What’s wrong with that? They are clear lights, not red or green. I like the look, pretty cheerful. People have strings lights on their patios and decks all year round, I am not the first one for doing that....See Morekarinl
