I'm with you on what the heck are the garden centers selling you! You have invasive blackberries and i have a variety of clemetis that is like a weed growing all over the walls and starting to cover the windows and it just keeps popping up rooting where it touches ground! Ahh!
Interesting idea to plant bulbs to block that blackberry coming up - hope it works! And a bike shed - sounds good to me!
Thanks for sharing!
Ahhhh.. these things should not be sold to people! Ah well, at least we got ours before it got out of control (I hope...), you sound like you have a whack a mole problem now!
Moles are one of our biggest problems - I gave up some of my front gardens for the moles were eating everything and focused on the middle and upper garden but now I see they are moving into the middle garden now - yikes! I'm pretty much done with the outside gardening for this year so I'll leave it until next year just look for some more whirly gigs which are a deterent for them!
