Not sure if its the right place...

My next door neighbour is of the lazy varity so this year I am really noticing his front and back garden over growing with horrors and they are starting to enter mine.

I've tried to engage him, but clearly he has no intrest as he is avoiding me, pretends not to hear me etc.

I can cut stuff up as it comes in, but its not that easy as its growing under and around the fencing. More worryingly I notice that a tree root appears to be growing out from his front wall.

Any suggestions?

I dont think he'd care about sausages and badgers

Get your wife/girlfriend/significant other to sunbathe outside in a skimpy bikini. To spend time gawking a her without looking like a pervert he will need to make some pretence of doing something useful in his garden. You can expect the lawns to be mowed, hedges clipped and trees pruned in short order. Of course, depending on his persuasion, it may be you that needs to do the sunbathing...
Thinking outside the box... nice
